Yorkshire Wolds - Day 5

North Grimston to Ganton
24.8 km

A local taxi picked us up from Scagglethorpe and deposited us back on the trail at North Grimston. After a bit of rain yesterday, today was bright and shiny ... a great day for a walk.

Today's route was totally rural. Up hill, down dale and through woodlands, with a couple of steep-ish climbs and descents. Clear views for miles.

The guide book recommended a short detour into the village of Wintringham to visit the church, describing it as "rather big for a small village". We took the detour and explored a very nice ancient church but we were pleasantly surprised to also find a vending machine providing hot drinks, a range of chocolate bars with payment via an 'honesty box', and a self-composting toilet for walkers.

Today marked the end of our south-north walking. The rest of the walk is all west-east, towards the coast and the North Sea.

Lots of hard surfaces today ... farm tracks, country lanes, and well trodden paths. It was tough on our feet. Between us, we have four feet; three of them have blisters, and one of them is quite swollen after going down a rabbit hole.

Only one day to go !!!!Read more
