Overview

This walk is the first 8 miles of the Viking way starting from the Humber Bridge viewing area. As this is a linear walk there will be a need for a few cars to be parked at the finishing point so that a number of drivers can be ferried back to the start point after the walk. If drivers could meet up at the finishing point between 10:00 and 10:15 am they can pair up so that enough cars can travel to the start of the walk before 10:30.
