Another sunny day, I did a ten mile walk. I parked my car at South Ferriby, opposite the church. I am familiar with this area, I have walked here before. The church is set on a hillside overlooking the village, which lies on the south bank of the River Humber.
I like this wonky tree which is close to the front door of the church.
It is locked today so I can't go inside. The church is partially hidden by trees, so there isn't a good view of it for a photo.
I came out of the churchyard by the back gate, and set off down a track. This is part of the Viking Way, a long distance path. The cement works down the hill. You can see the conveyor belt which carried the raw materials from the quarry. It is closed now, I am not sure if it will open again. The views across the river to the North Bank are pretty good from here.
I followed the Viking Way for a while, and spotted the back of the quarry across the fields.
Eventually I found a better view of it, and with a bit of zooming I got a half decent picture. I like the way the terraces are formed as they dig deeper into it. Would make a great amphitheatre.
I crossed over the main A15 trunk road coming into Barton on Humber. The bridge towers above the housing estate.
I stopped to have a break at Baysgarth Country Park. A couple of biscuits and a drink was enough. I had filled my face with a cooked breakfast before I came out. I made my way through the town to the waters edge, and turned left along the path to return to South Ferriby.
Under the bridge I go.
I will end this post here, and save the sunset photo's for tomorrow. It's 9pm and I want to clock off. I will sleep well tonight.
Catch ya tomorrow, Toodle pip. ilona
Lovely photos from a nice, safe walk!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I do try and pick safe places to walk.
DeleteFeeling very honoured ilona. The first part of your walk, past the quarry, was along Middlegate Lane. I lived on Middlegate Lane for almost twenty years, although not the part at South Ferriby. The road stretches from South Ferriby to Melton Ross. I once walked the whole length and back in 24 hours, a distance of nearly twenty miles. I cheated a bit, I did half on the evening of one day, and half on the morning of the next day. Walk a thousand miles per year? No problem, just like you ilona. Even now, at nearly 71.
ReplyDeleteI have walked extensively in that area. Saxby, Bonby, Worlaby, and Elsham. Wrawby and Barnetby. Carry on walking.
