  1. love the steps and all your other photos – great to see the lovely views and artistic shots too, I walked the south side of the Humber from Barton to Cleethorpes on Saturday and Sunday – lovely walk and camped just opposite Hull Deep on the far side of the Humber – great route through a few dock areas but around Immingham the route goes inland and the path is poor along the main road, so glad to get back to the coast of the Humber. I used to use a solo tent but the bivy is so much lighter and easier

    • I think the steps convey how step the paths are here – its hard to get across in photos. Glad to hear your Humber walk is progressing – I used a bivvy in my twenties but I like my tent now especially as it’s only 800 grams!

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
