Today we are alone, No guest walkers but it has been good to have them with us for the last two sections.

Just the Two of us

We start the day with a lift from Maria to the end of a muddy track (Meadow lane) leading down to the beach at the Quag. It's then onto the beach just a few pebbles!  

Big skies, Rusty iron & pebbles the way to Cley Eye, its hard work walking on pebbles but I did find that if you walk in someone else's foot prints it is a little easier.

Once at Cley Eye the path turns inland skirting the Cley channel, past a lovely windmill pubs & the local house painter, whose ladder is blocking the path. It's safe with his mate footing the bottom, we wait patiently for a few minutes chatting  while he finishes painting a soffit. 

The path follows the road for a short distance passing Picnic Fayre a gem of a shop with some lovely fresh fruits displayed outside, we pick some huge cherries & Apricots from the boxes putting them into brown paper bags & entering the shop to be greeted by lovely staff & a huge range of bakery products, all fresh, so what should we do? Buy some cakes as well! Ginger & pair cake, a Florentine & a fresh pork pie are purchased along with the fruit. 

We continue on the path to a very convenient bench where we sit, eat our cake & drink our flask of coffee all done with a great view across to the windmill. On we go skirting Fresh Marshes past the remains of Blakeney Chapel.

It's a very busy path plenty of dog walkers & we are soon passing through Morston & Stiffkey striding our way to Wells-Next-The-Sea.

Skirting the marshes with some fascinating formations in the mud we are soon into the final miles of our walk & eventually come into Wells-Next-The-Sea our final destination for the day.
