Another bright sunny day is forecast, as we leave the comfort of the Hayloft accommodation & make our way back to the path the over cast sky clears & the sun shines on us.
Today is another beach day as there is no cliff path & with the cliff crumbling into the sea it's no surprise that it, the path route is still in the planning stages.
Again the tide is just right, still receding giving us plenty of time to complete the walk, we pass a local resident who casts doubt on my planning as she doesn't think we will be able to pass at Mappleton but un-deterred we press on.
There are plenty of boulders on the beach but nothing impassable, although i did get rather too close to a seal invisibly resting in amongst the rocks, it wasn't until it screamed at me that i saw it as it raised its head into the sky & saw me off!
Again the cliffs are in really bad state crumbling away with properties on the brink of collapse & mud slides cascading down the cliff faces on to the beach.
Way down the beach, relics of ww2 structures that once would have sat proudly on the cliff tops, manned by soldiers keeping a watch over the seas for approaching enemy aircraft & ships.
arriving in Withernsea we greeted by a rather fun depiction of some beach huts & their occupants.
finding a cafe we tuck into some lunch, another section completed.
