I really don’t like cows. So, since they’ve taken over the top of the bank, I decide to sneak round below them, and I climb down the landward side of the sea wall. But, they’re down here too! Some are behind a fence, but a whole group are sprawled on the grass in front of me.

I leave my Scooty bike chained up against a fence in the car park at Freiston Shore. It’s nearly midday already
It took me some time to find somewhere for breakfast, then I had drive further up the coast and find a place to park and, after that, I had a convulted cycle ride along minor roads – stopping to check my Garmin regularly – to get here.

I finish my lunch, and leave the blue viewing platform. One last look back at Boston…

It’s a Saturday, and the market in Boston is busy. I enjoy wandering past the stalls, and listening to the different languages being spoken.

The first part of the diversion looks quite appealing – a well-mown path around the edge of an old waste tip. There are gas-releasing tubes and cannisters poking up through the top soil

At the end of the public road at Frampton Marsh, a RSPB worker is fixing an honesty box to a post, along with a sign asking people to pay for parking. I wonder if that’s legal on a public road, but she tells me I don’t have to pay as I’m cycling!
I chain my bike to a wooden barrier…

Glad to be back on my coastal trek, I hide my bike behind the hull of an old boat. It’s in a ramshackle yard, beside Fosdyke Bridge.
The bridge itself is an ugly old thing. It takes the A17 across the River Welland and, as far as I can tell, the bridge can’t move. Which means that no large ships can get beyond this point up the river.

I hide my Scooty bike in some bushes, and regain the sea bank near Holbeach St Matthew.
Sea bank? Not much sign of the sea, to be honest. Just a swathe of marshy grassland, intercut with channels of water.

I chain up my Scooty bike, and leave him hidden in some bushes. I’m back on Marsh Lane, near Gedney Drove End, and heading back to the sea wall.
A path climbs up onto the bank, and here the public footpath restarts along the sea wall. Why is there a gap in the footpath at this point? I don’t know.

I chain my bike to a fence in the little parking area on the east bank of the River Nene, and set off walking down the road towards Sutton Bridge.

When they saw me, they charged.
We both fell on the floor.
I made it to the stile just in time.
