Lincolnshire

Before February 2024, we had walked just two short sections at the Norfolk end of the Lincolnshire section of the coast path, and I didn't initially remember that we had walked any at all. This is because I had wrongly assumed that the border was at the point you cross the River Nene at Sutton Bridge, whereas the Norfolk/Lincolnshire border is actually in the middle of nowhere to the east of the river, so we must have crossed over it when on the Peter Scott Walk on 20th April 2019. We'd walked what is geographically the following leg, on a short New Year's Eve walk from Sutton Bridge to the lighthouse close to the mouth of the river that was once occupied by Peter Scott, and back, on 31st December 2018.

Between Sutton Bridge and Skegness, we're going to have to wait for the official route of the England Coast Path to open, because otherwise I think we'd going to find ourselves either unable to cross water channels or with a lot of walking on main roads some distance from the coast. However the 16-mile stretch between Skegness and Mablethorpe is open, and we walked from Skegness to Chapel St Leonards on 24th Feb 2024 and on from Chapel St Leonards to Mablethorpe two weeks later, on 9th March. Again, beyond this will have to wait.
