Viking Way

My dad and I set off to walk the Viking Way on 20^th September 2000 from the Humber bridge on a fine day. We met lots of lovely people curious about our adventure and had a fun time

There were a lot of memorable moments, the skylarks above the Wolds was certainly one, but “The Bull” story is the tale that is still recounted. We were forced off the official path and had to leap over some barbed wire fence. That was the easiest, swiftest leap anyone has ever done over barbed wire! He was relaxing on a slope, enjoying the sun on his back. He was NOT going to be disturbed by two people walking quietly passed him. Looking through dads log book there is no mention of him – we can’t quite remember where on the walk he was – but why no mention?

My dad will be 95 this year. He still feels the pull of the countryside and nature and gets out for 25 mile round trips on his mobility scooter!
