The Start-- our route
they shouldn't have!!!!
making our way to King's Cross station
where we meet up with Liz and Peter
here's Boston Stump ( the name of the church tower)
Boston to Mareham le fen
starting off from Boston in the dry
saying goodbye to Boston Stump
there's not room for both of them
the grass is wet
lunch time in the rain
which way???
sheltering
the rain has stopped at last
arriving in Mareham le fen
I like these signs
Mareham to Horncastle
no rain today
it's flat country here
an old farm track
a family outing
arriving in Horncastle
no one wants us
Horncastle to Goulceby
a pile of manure
a prettier site
the Elderberry is in flower
I'm not sure what I am doing
a village post office
me and my mum
it looks like rain again
it's cleared up again in time for lunch
and a snooze in the sun
mistress of all I survey
time to move on
there's no shop here
we're ready for a beer
and here's our B@B just up the lane
Goulceby to Walesby
saying goodbye to our hosts
map checking time
en route
Liz getting over the style
and now has to tackle this one
I have to take a picture of myself nowadays!!
a river walk
we need a drink
a nice cup of tea
this time we'll find a pub
first I have a ford to cross
under the shade of the tree
supper time at The King's Head
let's go and find our B@B
a strange gate
Walesby to Barnetby
time to leave our B@B
my favourite flower
makes a beautiful shot
they don't know what to make of him
it's a hot day today
we hoped that they would be hashers
a break in the shade
onward to Barnetby
the barley is almost ripe
time to rest
remembering the dead on the outskirts of Barnetby
Barnetby to Hessle
our first major road crossing
a lane walk this morning
a lime works near the Humber River
an after lunch snooze
on the last leg of The Lincolnshire wolds
The Humber Bridge comes into view
taking a short cut
Colin,please don't jump!!!
a view from the bridge shows our route for tomorrow
our place of rest in Hessle for the night
whose toes could those be??
a posh house but a very small glass of juice for breakfast
Hessle to South Cave
a tight squeeze
walking on the other side of the Humber
no gates for us
the boat is bigger than the house
time for light relief
a walk through the woods
good socks, a present from Homer and SLow Cooker
some majestic trees and three
an old Norman church
Our stop for the night ahead
We're staying in this pub tonight
and Colin looks pleased
South cave to Shiptonthorpe
leaving South Cave
a nice bit of shade
before we are back into the sun
another wood
well into the Yorkshire wolds now
this type of grass is pinkish in colour
poppies galore
it must be easier on horseback
the path to Market Weighton
you just drive your wheel chair in and off you go
a great poster
the centre of Shiptonthorpe
a room in the attic
Liz and Peter get the chalet
Shiptonthorpe to Thixendale
we've already walked a couple of miles today
our path goes through this farm
a village in the valley
the postman delivers to every house in the village
up the hill
to meet a bull
the hay is bagged
a ridge walk
a luverly view
a steep hill ahead
time to treat the blisters
amongst the sheep
looking down on them
we're staying here at the farm tonight
the bed looks good
Thixendale to Ganton
leaving the farm
it's up and down today
a margin of canola
a ruined church
in this medieval village
reflections on a bridge
drink break
refreshed we press on
we meet our first other hikers in the 10 days
it's good to be warned about all the holes
more barley
up close
it's raining out there
the rain has stopped
a dandelion clock
a field of beans
tame sheep; they let me stroke them
you can't beat wild flowers
it's looking like rain again
what a man!!
we've decided to hop on a bus for the last 3 miles today
it's just dropped us off at the pub in Ganton
Ganton to Filey
looking back at Ganton church
it's all uphill to the ridge
whose in the barm?
I wonder what his future holds?
a secret place
there's not room for the the tractor and us
here it comes
we can't get away from those poppies
can we?
canola in the background
Filey cliffs in the distance
lunch time
few provisions today
down dale
not a very friendly goose
Scarborough castle
I had to do a close up

a family serenades
fishing at high tide
Scarborough to Filey

regal flowers
a typical English coast line
another hill climbed
this heifer wants some of Peter's lunch
a rocky outcrop
a great sign
we never had a picture here in the 70s when we walked this Way
A bird's eye viwe of Filey
donkies for hire
we watch the carnival from our window
they're waving to us
Scarborough to Robin Hood's Bay
downtown Scarborough
practising ourside their B#B for a band competition
a chair lift on the seafront!!!
a watering hole up on the cliffs
we'll eat lunch at the look out hut
it's getting closer
and closer
lunch is over
and there are people ahead
what a sight!!
another hill climbed
into the village of Ravenscroft
through the gap
we're heading for the next cove
Ravenscroft is above us now
here's Robin Hood's Bay
and the end of our hike
we've taken the bus for the 5 miles to Whitby
the abbey
my blister
A day in Whitby
St.Mary's Church on the hill
and a raven
a low passage
looking down on part of Whitby
the abbey isn't as close to the farm as it looks
looking down on the rest of Whitby
a typical road in this seaside town
Return home by train
waiting for the train to take us home
Roseberry Topping seen from the train
We can just see Nelson's monument as we head for Victoria Station in London
