Braving the east wind forecast we ventured to Filey Brigg Country Park and camped for 3 nights overlooking Filey Bay and
Bempton's majestic cliffs.
Arrived in a shower then had a lovely stroll along the
cliff top to the end of the Brigg promontory, watching the sun set.
A 8 mile windy walk along the clifftops at Flamborough
Head on our first day gave us lots of exercise and “fresh air”
Would have been nice to buy a bag of chips to go with our picnic at
the lighthouse but Roy's wallet had no money in it! We got back early
so Roy walked into Filey and bought cake for afternoon tea to redeem
himself.
Our last day dawned with glorious blue skies, hot in
the sheltered areas away from the wind.
We walked to Filey Dams, a Yorkshire Wildlife Trust
place with a couple of bird hides. Not many birds around but a pretty
place on the edge of Filey.
After lunch we went down to cobble landing and across
the broad beach to the end of the Brigg..... a bracing walk!
Fish and chips for supper ended a super visit with lots
of memories of my childhood.
