The B&B owner had told us that there was a famous walking path behind the farm, through the Paull Nature Reserve, that stretched for 30 miles, which he would have recommended to us on a dry day. According to him, due to the rain, the ground would have been too muddy for us who did not have proper wellies. So we had given up on the thought of taking the walk.
We set off on our journey back to London early on the third morning. But the little duck on the sign to to the Reserve car park was too tempting, so we decided to turn in anyway to see what it was like.
As we had been told, it was the start of a very long walk that followed the Humber Estuary.
Just then, out of the grey skies came the sun! What a difference the sun makes. It transformed the dreary surroundings into an enticing walk.
So we gave in. We decided to walk the path. The ground turned out not to be very muddy, mainly because the wind-chill factor had hardened the wet ground. The path was next to a swamp-like area that overlooked the Estuary. Yet the vastness of the area gave us a sense of happiness that London does not give.
There, the teasing sun.
From the path we could overlook the backyard of the B&B where we stayed.
After about a mile in, we decided that was enough, as the wind was getting stronger, and we had to head back to London. On our way back, we managed to get some shots of the famous Humber Bridge, the seventh-longest suspension bridge in the world.
Goodbye Paull!
