Miles 11.82 Miles
Elevation Gain 16 feet
Total days walking 87 (excluding the swcp)
Total mileage 1740.22 (including the swcp)
A shorter walk today as we knocked off a few miles yesterday. It's a fine sunny morning with a warm, strong south wind. Starting off with a train ride from Barton Humber to Barrow Haven, there are a few people on the platform who are amazed at how far we have walked & wish us luck & good walking.
(If you meet us on our travels, please leave a comment)
Arriving at the station, we exit the train, commencing our day's walking where we left off the previous evening, continuing along the banks of the River Humber, the wind in our faces! We make good progress following the path around an industrial area, but a coast path sign, the first we have seen on this section, points us in the wrong direction.
It's not immediately picked up by either of us, & we walk a considerable distance before realising, retracing our steps, & guided by a friendly farmer, we are back on the banks of the Humber.
Lots of wildlife, including bees, butterflies, roe deer & birds, as well as numerous small birds and seabirds
Now nearing the end of the day's walk, we turn inland towards our accommodation at the Black Bull public house in East Halton, arriving just before the rain. I settle into a pint of Salt, a pale, very fruity beer.
