Dick Turpin Woz 'Ere

Welton was a lovely  spot, Wolds village with a link to Dick Turpin

 

Lady Well, Beggar's Bush, a Mammoth's Leg and the Market Weighton Giant!

 

What an interesting part of the world- lots of wells with pagan origins and reputed powers, remains from the last Ice Age when the Vale of Pickering was a great big lake... and the home of the tallest ever Englishman.....plus a very nice curry in Market Weighton

Wolds Way Dogs

Here are a small selection of the well behaved hot dogs I met, along with their friendly owners at South Cave and Swindale....

 

Let's Off Road!

 

Some time later, after a climb up onto the start of the Wolds I unexpectedly encountered some off roaders who were somewhat lost .....

The Kevins

Day 1: I met the Kevins, of which more later......and shortly after starting on the shoreside path, I met a friendly family from Pontefract, who walked with me to North Ferriby 

(AKA The Wolds Way Campers!) 

Wolds Way - Hessle

The walk starts on the shores of the Humber estuary at Hessle, going under the mighty span of the Humber Bridge, site of mills for whiting, made from chalk quarried here (shown on old map..)

All packed and ready to go!!
