Log No 369. Tue 8th Jul 2014 - Stone Creek to Kilnsea, 13 miles (5611 miles walked)

It was a slightly misty start this morning and everything was wet when I set off at 07.50.

I was supposed to be walking on top of the embankment but I decided to take to the roads to start with since my blisters were still painful.

It was slow going and took a while to get into a less painful rhythm but every time I paused I had to try and find it agsin.

The weather had brightened up and the grass dried out, after 6 miles I crossed Patrington Channel and got onto the footpath to walk on the embankment to Kilnsea.

The footpaths were good and the grass was short, there was one shower which made me don waterproofs but it was mercifully brief as it was far too warm to have to wear more than a t-shirt.

It was too hazy for a good view across the river but there were a few ships going up and down.

From a distance Spurn Point looks like an island though I do believe that at high tide it is cut off, I'll find out tomorrow.

There are not many houses at Kilnsea but one of them, The Nookin, had a small campsite, Driftwood, and had offered me a free pitch, thank you very much. I eventually arrived here at 13.50 having taken 6 hours to cover 13 miles.

That leaves 4 days to walk the remaining 19 miles or so!
