Walking with Paul

Here is Paul’s second walk. This month his destination is Withernsea.

 

Maps: Explorer 292.

Start at GR. 339279 Car park near church
and lighthouse.

Distance: 5.7 miles

 

On leaving the car park, turn left and
proceed down the B1362 (Hull road) for about 0.5 miles. Immediately before the
last bungalow, “SUNRAE” on the right, turn right and follow a wide farm track
in a northerly direction. After approximately 0.5 miles and at a sharp right
bend, turn left and follow a path across the field in a line with telegraph
poles. On reaching a hedge, turn right and immediately left walking with the
drain on your left.

Turn right at the head of the field and
locate a footbridge on the left. Cross this footbridge and a stile, turn right
and follow the field boundary, locate and cross a stile and continue in the
same direction heading for farm buildings. Follow the field boundary to the
left and locate a footbridge on the right.

Cross this footbridge with extreme care
(very slippery) and then cross a stile into a paddock. Walk across this paddock
to emerge onto a farm access road made out of large concrete blocks. After a
short distance this track swings to the left and climbs slightly. At the top of
the rise and near Shaw farm you cross the Greenwich Meridian.

This track becomes a farm road and
eventually meets the Rimswell road. On reaching the main road, turn right and
walk into Rimswell. After passing the church on your left and the village hall
on your right, locate a way marker on your right and pass through a metal gate
into a field. Cross this field with the hedge on your right and cross a stile
located in the left corner of the field then walking with the hedge on your
left. On reaching the corner of the field, cross a footbridge and walk in the
same direction eventually following the headland to the right. Ignore a
footbridge on the left which leads to the main road but continue walking in a
southerly direction.

After about 0.5 miles, locate a
footbridge on the left and cross and continue in the same direction. Locate
another footbridge on your right which you should cross and turn right walking
with a ditch/drain on your right.

At the end of this field you cross a
footbridge and turn left to follow the outward path back to the car park.
