Boo, the last day of our week near the Yorkshire Coast. Yes it's been a bit of a wet week but that hasn't take away from the enjoyment, it just means that you spend more time recharging your batteries. We had a few walks planned out on the North York Moors but due to the amount of rain we decided not to bother as it was likely that the paths were all muddy, so another walk on the coast was the order of the day.
Now neither of us are big fans of Bridlington, but as we hadn't been for a few years and the weather was better today we headed down the coast, parked up at Sewerby on the northern outskirts of the town and then headed down onto the sea-front and in the end we walked over 6 miles.
It was high tide so we couldn't walk all the way down to the marina via the beach, and our beachcombing wasn't going that well as there were almost no pieces of worn broken glass to be found, lots of white chalk pebbles though of varying sizes; a result of coastal erosion of the chalk cliffs in the area I would guess.
We spent some time around the marina, it was much bigger than I remember, and to be honest although Donna might not agree, the whole area seems to have improved a lot and the place looks a lot cleaner and smarter; at least on the front.
The cafe we had planned to go to was closed when we got there, even though Mr Internet said it was open, so we grabbed a Subway and headed down to the sea-front to take a seat and have our lunch whilst enjoying the views out over the sea.
By now the sea had retreated around 50m so we were able to walk along the beach, and although not easy to find, we did manage to seek out the odd remnant or two of worn glass for Donna's collection. The light was now dropping as it reached mid to late afternoon, and it rewarded us with some great colour and moody skies. Beautiful orange adorned the sky and reflected off the wet beach, it was a stunning end to our walk.
In the end we had spent over 4hrs walking up and down the front, and what an enjoyable 4hrs it was.
