Log No 353. Sun 22nd Jun 2014 - Weybourne to Stiffkey, 13 miles (5389 miles walked)

It was cloudy with sunny intervals when I left the campsite at 09.00 and there was no wind.

I can't say that I was looking forward to the start of today's walk, from Weybourne there was 4 miles of shingle to crunch through to get to Cley Eye where the River Glaven almost breaks out to the sea.

There might have been a footpath here once but past or recent storms have piled up the shingle burying fences.

At Cley Eye the shingle continues to form a spit out to Blakeney Point, the River Glaven follows the spit and opens out into a wide channel, finally getting out to the sea at the Pount.

A decent footpath followed the road by the river into Cley next the Sea and although I had plenty of time I resisted the temptation to stop at the Windmill cafe and continued on the footpath on the other side of the river.

The footpath followed Cley Channel and Blakeney Channel back round into Blakeney, this was a very popular walk and Blakeney was very busy.

The good path continued along the edge of the salt marsh to the car park at Morston and I had collected £15 in donations from Derek & his partner and Pete & Mavis, many thanks.

There were boat trips from Blakeney to see the seal colony on the sand at Blakeney Pt and I could see at least four boat loads around the Point.

The Norfolk Coast Path carried on following the marshes and the High Sand Creek Campsite at Stiffkey was right by the footpath, I got here at 14.15.

The 13 miles had been quite tough today, mainly because of the shingle at the start.
