East Yorkshire: South Cave and Drewton Wold

Sunday, 27th October 2013

Added as an archive 5 years later in 2018.

Met up with Ed off the forum for a slightly longer version - about 7 miles - of my favourite local wolds walk.

East Yorkshire/Lincolnshire: Humber Bridge walk

Sunday, 20th October 2013

I was hoping to walk along the eastern walkway and return along the western walkway but the eastern one was closed for maintenance and repair (typical - the one I wanted to walk along to have the views of "back home").

Good views but noisy and windy!

North Yorkshire Moors: Roseberry Topping and Captain Cook's Monument (6 miles)

Sunday, 6th October 2013

This one's been on my "to do" list for a while. Lovely day, ankle feeling okay so off I went. Took the scenic route there over the top of the North Yorkshire Moors. Free parking in Great Ayton. Delicious coffee shop called Stamps who introduced me to Paradise Slices - highly recommended. Got a bit lost coming off Captain Cook's Monument but no great worries. Gorgeous meal in The Royal Oak Hotel - £11 for a 2 course meal plus a drink. I had braised pork with herby mash and veg and jam sponge and custard. Ankle's not too bad either :)
