I go through some woods with a boardwalk and the path starts to cross two open fields, the second with a bird hide. The line of seaweed explains to me why the field is a bit soggy and I have to pick my way through some boggy parts and with all the meandering I have strayed slightly off the path. However I see a fenced off section with a gate and I realise that I shall have to leave the shoreline and continue on the side of the road, that's disappointing but not as disappointing as seeing the path I have to take. Worse still all this water is gathered right where the gate is, luckily there is a fencepost floating in the middle, I gingerly step on it and work my way throught the gate. I reach the road by leaping from one side of this stream to the other.
