This year's walking project: the Yorkshire Wolds Way

79 miles, from the Humber estuary to Filey Brigg. It doesn’t seem that far after 110miles of the Cleveland Way.

We started two Sundays ago, and have already completed the first stage, so it’s now 66 miles to go. Of course, we will do this in our inimitable style, so are trying to work out where the best pubs and coffee and tea shops are. (Note: the Yorkshire Wolds are lacking in tea shops in comparison to the North Yorks Moors. They’re just not as touristy)

Once again it’s an opportunity to discover parts of Yorkshire, practically on our doorstep, that we’ve never been to before. Walking along the breezy Humber, and under the huge span of the bridge was fascinating, as was discovering that this route has been used since the Bronze Age. The dry, chalky valley and wide hill tops of the Wolds are very different to the rugged bleakness of the Moors. To me, not as dramatic, or quite as inspiring, but with their own charm.

I’ll try and update as we go along.
