Route: A Walk from Weedley
Area: East Yorkshire
Date of walk: 3rd March 2014
Walkers: Andrew
Distance: 4.0 miles
Ascent: 500 feet
Although I hadn’t planned a walk today, some sun and blue skies tempted me to make the short journey to Weedley and go for a walk on the Yorkshire Wolds. I parked near the radio station and walked along a wide track – this brought back some happy memories as we used to come tobogganing here as children
After a while the track becomes part of the Yorkshire Wolds Way, and I followed the path down to the outskirts of South Cave and then uphill along Great Wold Side
The return journey was at high level (high for East Yorkshire, that is) with good views of the rolling countryside in all directions. The last section back to the start involved about 10 minutes walking along the road side, a minor sacrifice bearing in mind the otherwise excellent paths on this walk
