Yorkshire Wolds - Day 2

South Cave to Market Weighton
21.4 km

The guide book warned that there are no facilities for walkers on today's route. We prepared well with a huge breakfast, and set off with a packed lunch for another day on shanks pony.

Mostly gentle terrain today which was nice for a small blister. Unfortunately the blister is in an awkward spot on the inside heel. In the battle of sock vs bandaid, the sock won and the bandaid was unstuck. A lot of tape was required to keep a new bandaid in place, it looked more like 'major injury first aid' than just a blister.

Our ramble took us through grassy valleys, which are a feature of the Wolds, and a lot farmland with farmers doing farming things. The last part of the walk was along a disused railway line, now a green-way for cyclists. This took us to the main street of Market Weighton and, a pleasant surprise, our accommodation was only 7 steps to the left.Read more
