Humberston Fitties, Marine Walk.

 Popcorn & I had a walk along the Fitties in the early morning sun, back in September.  On this occasion we walked in the opposite direction to our usual walk along Marine Embankment.

I'm beginning to run out of recent photo's but have taken a lot this summer so will have to dip into my archives of earlier 2024 pics soon for future posts.

This is the Buck Beck outfall which runs through Cleethorpes from the Lincolnshire
Wolds and into the Humber Estuary at the Fitties.

A few small saltwater lagoons in the dunes.

Looking toward Cleethorpes, the Yorkshire coast can be seen on the far bank of the estuary.

A Little Egret looking for small crabs and shrimps in a saltwater lagoon.  The lagoons
dry out in drought conditions but are then topped up again on the next extra high tide.

These static holiday caravans have views out over the estuary.

Driftwood washes up on the beach regularly.

You may not be able to spot why I apparently took a photo of a bare sky?
A large skein of Geese came over, if you're viewing this on a PC monitor or laptop
you'll be able to see them.  I love to see and hear the Geese going out in the morning
and returning at dusk.

Dogs aren't allowed on the main beaches at Cleethorpes but they are on the Fitties.
It's just hoped their owners clear up after them.

In the distance are moored yachts on the beach where we usually walk.

Haile Sand Fort, seen framed by a breakwater.

I very rarely take photographs where there's any children about, this little one is facing
away so not a problem.  I think mum on the left was keeping an eye on me but didn't object.  

This is where we usually begin our walk.

Cleethorpes is "just" visible in the distance.

This creek changes it's shape but will be familiar to you if you've seen my other
posts from the Fitties.

A view of the caravans at Thorpe Park to show how close they are to the beach here.
In the distance the small white building is Cleethorpes Pier.

A short drive/walk in the Lincolnshire Wolds.

 The weather has been quite unpredictable, but a few days ago Popcorn and I enjoyed driving and having short walks along the way, around our usual haunts, on a pleasant early autumn afternoon.

A bridleway we used to enjoy.

Horses grazing in the late afternoon sunlight.

Sunlight lights up this cottage.

A lone tree on the horizon caught my eye in the sunlight.

Another "lone tree".

Hogweed set against the sky.

Looking through the trees to some Shetland Ponies.

I must try this path one day.

Crops already drilled here for next Spring. 

Not much Autumn colour yet but some trees just starting to turn.

This tree is in decline but still manages to produce a few leaves.

Low, late afternoon sunlight.  The cows are still out in the meadow but will soon go to
their winter quarters.

The last few photo's were taken from a road so I left Popcorn guarding the car.
Home then for tea.

Waithe Lane on a stormy day.

 We had a walk along Waithe Lane, it was a day of sunshine and showers. 

A panoramic view over the fields from the lane. 

Very late flowering Cow Parsley.

Next years cereal crop has germinated in the recent rain showers and sunshine.

In the distance the clouds were building up and rain showers created a rainbow.

Blue sky above but the rain was on it's way towards us.

Poplar trees with more new crops.

The heavy clouds getting closer so we made a hasty retreat back to the car.

We got back just in time, the view through the windscreen tells a story.

Saltfleet Haven.

 Saltfleet is a coastal village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire.  It's approximately 8 miles north of Mablethorpe and 11 miles to the east of Louth.

The Haven comes in from the North Sea and in the past there was a thriving shell fishing industry here.  The Saltfleet Haven Boat Club has some mooring along the bankside.

Popcorn & I visited here on a lovely morning in May 2024, the tide was out so the water quite low.

Mooring jetties all along this bank.  At high tide they enable access to the craft.

Lobster pots, there's still a trade for shellfish from here.

A more modern cruiser from the Haven Boat Club.

Looking inland gives a nice view of a Lincolnshire "big sky"!

A swirly cloud formation, looking out toward the coast.

This boat is probably for sea angling or Lobster fishing.

Safety first.
