Monday 17th February 2020 Yesterday had been a long day and this was to be just over 14 miles to provide a lighter day. We drove to Horse Shoe Point and picked up where we had left off last night. There was a cold and very strong wind blowing across the dykes – the tailContinue reading “Day 23 – Horse Shoe Point to Mablethorpe 19.8 miles”

Day 22 – Immingham to Horseshoe Point 19 miles
Sunday 16th February 2020 Today would be a long walk and with storm Desmond threatening high winds and rain we wanted to be off in good time. We caught the 7:47 bus from Grimsby to Immingham and started walking at 08:15. We had a mile or two around the remainder of the the docks untilContinue reading “Day 22 – Immingham to Horseshoe Point 19 miles”
Day 21 – Barton-upon-Humber to Immingham 17 miles
Saturday 15th February 2020 We got up early and left home about 7:15 to drive to Barton-upon-Humber. We arrived and were walking by about 9:30. Fortunately, though storm Desmond was destined to arrive soon, we set off with just a gentle breeze and just a few drops of rain in the air. We walked upContinue reading “Day 21 – Barton-upon-Humber to Immingham 17 miles”
Day 20 – Paull to Barton-on-Humber 17.9 miles
Saturday 25th January 2020 This was the final day of this section of our walk. Though there are not many buses that go to Paull, there was an early bus that arrived at about 8:30 which suited us well. We started walking along another section of dyke but, after a mile or so of this,Continue reading “Day 20 – Paull to Barton-on-Humber 17.9 miles”
Day 19 – Outstray Farm to Paull 14.9 miles
Friday 24th January 2020 Today we left the car at Paull, the end of the day’s walk, and got a taxi to Outstray farm. This was convenient because we could book the taxi the night before and be less susceptible to the the problem of all the taxis being booked for school runs in theContinue reading “Day 19 – Outstray Farm to Paull 14.9 miles”
Day 18 – Easington to Outstray Farm 19.5 miles
Thursday 23rd January The day dawned dull. A mist hung over the countryside and out into the Humber Estuary. This was the day I had promised Jill would be a really interesting walk. We drove from Hull to Easington seeing very little. We parked in the cliff top car park and reassured ourselves that itContinue reading “Day 18 – Easington to Outstray Farm 19.5 miles”
Day 17 – Mappleton to Easington 20.3 miles
Wednesday 22nd January 2020 Today was to be another long day; this time an estimated 20 miles which turned out to be spot on. We were later leaving the hotel than planned but even so we were walking by 08:30. We were hoping to reach Withernsea (12 miles) by 12.30 when the rising tide mightContinue reading “Day 17 – Mappleton to Easington 20.3 miles”
Day 16 – Bridlington to Mappleton 16.6miles
Tuesday 21st January 2020 Today we had an early start because we wanted to walk as much as possible along the sandy beaches as far as Mappleton (or even Aldbrough if possible) and so it would be a long day. High tide was not until about 14:00 and so I estimated we should try andContinue reading “Day 16 – Bridlington to Mappleton 16.6miles”
Day 15 – Bempton to Bridlington 13.5 miles
Monday 20th January 2020 Today’s walk was to be a lighter day and we needed it to be so after yesterday’s long tramp. We had a six minute train ride back to Bempton and then walked to the RSPB Centre for a tactical pause and then got back on the coast path once more. WeContinue reading “Day 15 – Bempton to Bridlington 13.5 miles”
Day 14 – Scarborough to Bempton 21.8 miles
Sunday 19th January 2020 Last night was cold and there was a sharp frost. The windows of our chilly accommodation were running with condensation. The central heating was not on in the morning so we dressed quickly and made up Oats-so-Simple using the room kettle and departed just as our hostess appeared. We were closeContinue reading “Day 14 – Scarborough to Bempton 21.8 miles”
