It was refreshing to see some blue skies at last as we left the village of Huggate, having parked near St Mary’s Church. We walked along Mill Lane for a short while, then turned off to join Hawold Bridle Road
After a while we joined the Chalkland Way and this took us along charming dales and across typical rolling Wolds landscape
The sun disappeared for a while but towards the end of the walk it reappeared, this time accompanied by the ‘big skies’ for which this area is renowned, making a lovely ending to this enjoyable walk
