WALK FROM SKEGNESS

Sunday 6^th September 2009

At 10 am, a group of 8 walkers set off from opposite the Seaview Pub on a 10 mile 'figure of 8' walk to the villages of Ingoldmells and Addlethorpe. Despite a mainly cloudy day, it remained fine and dry with a light breeze.

Our route took us along St Andrews Drive, North Shore Road and after crossing the A52, through an housing estate to join a footpath to Winthorpe Church. We then used footpaths to reach Addlethorpe Mill from where we headed towards Addlethorpe Church.



Turning east along footpath 285, we soon joined a drain bank to reach the A52 at Ingoldmells. Walking through the village we turned on to High Street to pass the parish church before joining footpath 280 to take us to Addlethorpe Church where we stopped for our lunch break.

Following lunch, we crossed the village green and headed down Chapel Lane where we joined footpath 286 to take us back to Mill Lane. Proceeding east along the lane, we once again passed Addlethorpe Mill and then joined Wall's Lane. Turning right on the footpath through the Skegness Water Leisure Park we then took the opportunity to use the newly reopened footpath 315 which had been closed for many years. This took us east to the Royal Oak pub and the A52. Using the nearby Pelican crossing we then proceeded down Winthorpe Avenue to reach the Sea Front.

With the welcome appearance of the Sun we decided to stop for an ice cream from the nearby kiosk. The final section of our walk took us south along the promenade and through the sand dunes to return to our starting point where we arrived at 3.30 pm.
