We didn't walk yesterday. The wind has been gusty all week, and recognising that we had a long day ahead of us we didn't much fancy walking headlong into it.

Despite being a long walk, there's not much to report. It felt similar to the walks round The Wash, largely being back on a sea bank with fields inland. The difference this time was the presence of another shore, as the Humber estuary narrowed and Hull became visible to the north.

Soon enough the Humber Bridge came into view, drawing us forwards for the remainder of the day.

We stopped just short of the bridge, saving that definitive moment for tomorrow and the end of our week's walking.
