Day 7: North Killingholme to Woodhall Spa. Approx 40 miles.

Thank fuck! A good day full of good stuff.

Gallus cooked breakfast before setting off through country roads with no cars and especially no lorries! Got the ipod on the go for the first time which makes everything better. Jefferson Airplane coupled with sun and trees and rolling fields works exceptionally well! Today was pretty uneventful due to everything going so swimmingly. To top it all off I found a cycle path alongside a canal that took me straight to Woodhall Spa.

Arrived at the bed and breakfast- pretty fancy. Wee woman was pretty sound so chatted to her for ages then headed off in search of dinner. Although, again, never take directions from women! Ended up down a dead end residential street...useless. Anyway got to the local pub for an excellent pint of Strongbow and club sandwich (one of my favourite dinners). Sat on my own for a bit until the usual "so what are you doing then?" from one of the more inquisitive locals. Ha! Their faces! Its great telling folk that your cycling around western Europe for 6 months on your own. The folk of Woodhall Spa were totally sound. One of them gave me a tenner that said "Best of luck, hope you succeed!", sound. More pints, more chat then a stumble home.
