WALK FROM MABLETHORPE

Sunday 26th April 2009

Continuing through the reserve.Near the start of the walk.Setting off at 10.05 am on a fine, sunny day, a group of 10 walkers enjoyed a 10 mile circular walk from Mablethorpe North End car park.

Coffee stop next to pillbox.Approaching Rimac. 'Zion Hill' in centre of picture.Walking north into the Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes National Nature Reserve we entered a haven of peace and tranquility with only the sound of wildlife. Gentle climbs up sanddunes provided fine views over the reserve to the sea and surrounding countryside.

Decending a hill at Rimac.View south to 'Zion Hill'.Using a combination of permissive paths and public footpath 55 we eventually reached Rimac from where we headed east to the edge of the dunes and then turned south alongside the dunes, stopping at the second of two war-time pillboxes for our lunch break.

Information Board at viewing platform looking out to sea from Rimac.Lunch break at war-time pillbox.After lunch we returned into the heart of the reserve and used Oliver's Trail to reach the Churchill Lane car park from where we headed south-west along Churchill Lane, the A1031 and then proceeding down Station Road. Using crossfield footpath 248 we headed south-east to visit the village church at Theddlethorpe St Helen and its bluebell covered churchyard.

Church at Theddlethorpe St Helen.Walking south-west along the length of public footpath 250 we then walked south along a minor road to reach the 'King's Head' pub from where we used a combination of footpaths 252 and 251 to again reach the A1031. Crossing this busy road with great care we used footpath 253 eastwards through the Theddlethorpe gas terminal and then walked along Meers Bank to arrive back at our starting point at 2.50 pm.
