The plan here was to set off from my camp, have a lunch break at a pub then an evening meal at Sutton Bridge to celebrate my 2000 miles.The weather was sunny and the day picked up as I saw a barn owl hunting along one of the ditches. Then it was steady walking to…

The day started wet and finished wet. It was also wet in the middle.A large pile of flowers had been left in memory of Lilia Valutyte , the little girl murdered in the town. This has hit people hard here and most local businesses have collection jars in her memory.Then it was a walk back…

The 5:30am arrival of pickers in the field next to my tent meant an early start. I ended having breakfast next to a portable pickers toilet next to a field of broccoli. Ok I did nick a bit of broccoli to go with my noodles 😀.After an initial panic with another road closed sign I…

This part of the coast is full of holiday makers stretching from several miles North to Skegness itself.Families dragging laden carts to the beaches and dragging screaming children from the beaches.I managed to restrain myself from indulging in the several Karaoke stands on the promenade. I did however try for the first time , a…

A good start to the day finding an apple tree on the path with definitely edible apples. Collected some and then set off down the sand dunes. It was going to be another hot day but I’d planned on breakfast in Mablethorpe. A couple I met recommended the Empire so I made my way there…

I asked if they’d like to interview someone walking round the coast and they said yes.I was interviewed by a…

An early start in order to get to Cleethorpes before it got too hot. Also had to buy my ticket for this evening.It was more walking through industrial estates though I did get close to the hydraulic tower at Grimsby . I wandered into Cleethorpes at 10am and was pleased to see the floodlights of…

As I now had an extra day to get to Cleethorpes I took the opportunity to watch the Alpacas being fed at the campsite. . They are quite cute especially the baby ones known as creas. They are very good at dealing with predators such as foxes as a result the fields they graze in…

Today was the day I was crossing the Humber Bridge, which I felt slightly regretfully meant I was leaving the North of England.The walk through Hull’s docklands was a mix of urban decay, graffiti and beautiful views of the river and the bridge.When I reached the bridge I got to chatting to a chap sitting…

I discovered I’d been walking on a permissive path courtesy of the Crown Estates as I found a sign near Stoney Creek.I finally met someone on the path a lad who was walking to the disused army barracks “to see what was going on”.The path continued in its broad splendour and after about eight miles…
