Walking on the North Bank

I checked the maps this morning to find somewhere I haven't walked before, or somewhere I haven't been to for a long time, within an hours drive from home. Although I have walked a lot on the North Bank, there was an area I haven't explored. So I drove over the bridge and headed for Brough. I was wanting to park in the centre of Brough, but came across roadworks with temporary traffic lights. The diversion was very confusing. There is a lot of building work going on as well. New housing estates, new roads, and new roundabouts. I couldn't find my way around Brough so I gave up and went to North Ferriby. I recognised the church there, and the road which goes past the school. I walked along there with Jo Brand when she was doing her One Hell of a Walk, for charity. That was in 2016. I parked at the church.  

I walked towards the Station and crossed the railway line, and I arrived at the river. The tide was in so no walking along the river bank today. It's very uncomfortable to walk on the rocks anyway, so I wasn't bothered. 

I walked back into the village. No football on today. 

But there was a cricket match going on. 

This is the pub we stopped at while on the charity walk. I had taken sandwiches so I sat outside to eat them. One of the film crew members came out to me and said I was to go inside and help myself from the buffet. Jolly nice of them I thought. A mile or so after that I said goodbye to Jo as I turned round and walked back to Barton where I left my car. It was 7.5 miles each way. Jo carried on with her sore feet, she did over 100 miles if I remember correctly. 

I bought an ice cream from the Co op shop behind the pub. 

From North Ferriby I walked to Swanland. This is a place I have been to before. Checking the date it was in 2012. 

In the centre of the village is the pond. I took a few photo's. Here is a link to the post I did in 2012. 

It's a very pretty village.

Can you see me mother. 

Four and a half miles covered, and I was back home for 6.30pm. 

Thanks for popping in. Enjoy your weekend. Toodle pip.   ilona
