Flamborough Head |

I moved from the South East to East Yorkshire in 2009. Before I came I knew nothing about this area. If you don't either, and you like wildlife, days out and the seaside, keep reading. I will also use this blog to show the evolution of my 14' x 30' garden from lawn and concrete to woodland area, wildlife pond, bee border, veg bed, container patio, and Moroccan courtyard. Too big a plan for too small a space? Watch this space. (See April 2011 for start point and plans.)

Walking in East Yorkshire - Skidby Windmill
(These walk instructions were written in April. We've since done the walk again in September, so I've added more photos and updated the description slightly.)
The other half is currently on a 16-mile charity walk. I've had one update so far saying he got to a mile. That was about an hour ago. Hopefully he's not keeled over. If you are wondering why I, the keener walker out of the two of us, am not doing the walk, it's a question of car space. The walk isn't a circular one, it's a straight 16-mile of old railway track from Hornsea to Hull. Other half is doing it on behalf of his work charity with a few others from there. They've got a work car to drop them off at Hornsea and to collect them at the other end. So the car space was at a premium.

While I'm awaiting for the next update from him, this is another one of the walks that we did to prepare him for today's walk - Skidby Mill and Risby circular walk -

Walking in East Yorkshire - Spurn Point
My other half is on the countdown to a 16-mile charity walk taking place on Sunday 1st of May. Now, usually, he's not one for walking in the countryside, he finds it a little dull. But recently as 'training' he's been willing to try a few circular walks I have found for this area on the net.
A couple of weeks ago we went to Spurn Point Nature Reserve to walk the perimeter, which is an approximately 8 miles in total. What a fabulous place it is.....
