Ascent: not much at all
Weather: everything
Bunnies: a lot
Strange bird noise: 1
Today we start our WTC Ways walk, which will be a 2 week walk taking in the Yorkshire Wolds, Tabular Hills and Cleveland Ways. Starting from Hessle, near the Humber Bridge, and heading up to Filey, then around the Yorkshire Moors up to Saltburn and down the coast to Scarborough, this will be a 250 odd mile hike taking just over 2 weeks.
When I say we start today, we didn't do very much walking on the route today. Today mainly involved going to work, getting excited about going on holiday, looking worriedly out of the window at the atrocious weather, sitting on a tram worrying about what we haven't packed, sitting in the pub, finding out our train was cancelled, sitting some more and then sitting on the next train. Entertainment provided by a man who hadn't got a ticket. Which wasn't very entertaining at all actually.
Black clouds loomed on the horizon as we got off the train, and we headed over a busy road and down a path to the shore of the Humber. The actual start of the Yorkshire Wolds Way is at the start of a little path near a hotel and an inlet with some containers, (ed- there is a special fingerpost on one path near a car park, but we didn't go to the car park, so didn't see it) and a little further on, near to the Humber Bridge, there is a monument and a car park with some cars that it was best not to look at too closely as it was getting quite dark. We made our way through a little wooded park so we followed a cycle track to Ferriby Road and the Premier Inn.
