20th February: Winteringham - Whitton - Alkborough (9.5miles)
No snow this month but another glorious, sunny, cold winters day with great views over the Alkborough flats - well worth a visit. Click here to see photos.

20th March: Millington (ALMOST) to Huggate (10 miles)
Well we couldn't have sunshine for every walk. Having almost cancelled the walk due to the poor forecast we decided to risk it. Whilst the wet weather forced us to shorten the walk from 10 to 7 miles, this allowed us time to a visit to the Ramblers Rest tea room in Millington for a cup of tea and a a slice of of homemade cake - all in front of a roaring log fire.
