It was our monthly walking group walk today.
The weather was a bit meh today and the Bluebells aren't really at their best yet so we opted for a walk at Paull. I do this (or a variation of this) walk fairly regularly but don't often go round the back of the Church as it can get really muddy in bad weather. We went that way today though and the mud was alright - quite compacted and not slippy.
Again, it's nice to have company on a walk I usually do solo.
At least it didn't rain!

As always, after the walk we headed for a cuppa and a bun, this time at The Chatty Couch in Hedon - Mo had reserved a table and a scone for us all!
3.85 miles - not bad going for our first "real" walk of the year - we need to get those legs in training for our walking weekend in September.
I have to confess, I've probably not walked here for a month and the reinforcements for the coastal erosion and flood embankment is coming on in leaps and bounds. There's a new walkway which has been opened up, and, what looks like the beginnings of some sort of nature trail being marked out. I hope it doesn't end up too commercialised though. What it needs is a cafe - I think the trail should pass the Battery and there should be a simple cafe in there.
The rain held off too until we'd finished our cuppa and bun.
Thanks for looking
