Hello and welcome back to my blog😊.

Todays walking journey finds myself and Angela parking up in South Cave at just after 08:00 ready to start where we finished yesterday. Our aim today was to walk the 13 miles from South Cave to Market Weighton along a section of The Yorkshire Wolds Way.

We set out early to avoid the rain forecast for later on. Our first surprise, walking uphill out of South Cave, was passing Vine Yards. They were obviously the hardy variety of grape.

We passed a pair of Wolds Way benches – these stylish benches are dotted here and there along the route, usually where there is a view.

Our route took us through a number of Dales, some of which were wooded, and involved a fair bit of up. Some paths were slippery with mud.

The agricultural land we passed was surprisingly very chalky.

The highlight of the walk was passing through one particular dale that had a lot of lambs – its funny to see some energetically springing about. Most were snoozing in the sunshine. They were a joy to see.

The weather was sunny as we continued through the open expanse of Swin Dale.

After more up we stopped for a break. Although it was sunny there was a brisk cold wind blowing.

We were making good time and after following the path across agricultural land we met Hudson Way – the site of the dismantled railway line from Market Weighton to Beverley.

The Hudson Way led us to Market Weighton and the finish of our walk.

Two things stand out in Yorkshire. The first is how friendly people are and secondly, finding that the towns have free parking – very enlightened.

We now only have one section of the Wolds Way left to walk – from Sherburn to Filey, which we will complete at some stage. We can then tick that walk off 😊.

Happy Walking! 😊🚶‍♂️
