Paul, Chris, Sarah and I stayed overnight at the excellent Ivy pub in Wragby. Overnight rain dried up quickly by 9 am, Paul and I explored Wragby and visited the local Georgian church. We met the wonderfully friendly vicar, Mark, who looks after six churches! A very busy man.
After a hearty breakfast at The Ivy, we drove back to the delightful village of Tealby to commence our walk. More Wolds ups and downs were encountered plus thick beds of nettles. Very pleasant walking ending in Ludford at a garden centre which appeared closed and neglected but was in fact still open (just about). Nothing available in the advertised farm shop though.
RAF Ludford was the wartime base for Lancaster Bombers and there is a memorial to the 700 plus airmen who never returned, on the Main Street. There is also a memorial on the outside wall of the only remaining pub, the White Hart, where we had a last drink on this section of the Viking Way.
I have really enjoyed it so far, both the walking and the company; only succumbed to two blisters which are not at all painful!
