Waking to another bright sunny morning we are soon fed & watered & on our way leaving the luxury mobile home behind us.
Back on the path its nice walking but we have to head inland following the path to navigate around & over a stream known as the Flat Cliff Gill, Heading along the path we meet a local who advised us that walking the beach route was a much nicer way than the cliff top but in retrospect I think I would have preferred the cliff top as the beach went on with what seemed like no way off.
But we did see some great relics of the war defences having been bought down from the cliff tops by the sea eroding the cliff faces, of course with the sea levels rising the erosion will only get worse.
Asking another local on the beach who said she didn't think there was anyway off further on so we turned back & followed a road up through a mobile home holiday park where no one seemed to know the way to the cliff top path, we eventually found it & a handy picnic bench for our elevenses.
Continuing on along the cliff top we do see a dead bat recently deceased & in perfect condition just resting on the grass beside the path.
The cool wind blowing we continue along the cliff tops where we pass through RSPB Bempton we can see lots of sea birds swooping & hovering on the wind & sitting in their roosts on the cliff walls gannets, razor bills possibly puffins, Kitty wakes & more, an interesting stretch of coast, Today however no mandatory golf course!
The puffins are coming so hopefully we can spy on some later on in the week.
We arrive at North marine estate close to where we were staying Just off the path so we stop Strava & head inland to Flamborough & our accommodation a cabin in the garden.
We drop our bags & go to the local coop for our daily supplies then back to the cabin & chill for the evening.
