A walk along the clifftops to North Landing from Flamborough Lighthouse, a distance of around 1¾ miles.
The path meanders between the edge of the cliff and Flamborough Golf Club whom, it seems, have some volatile members....... never mind the dog, watch out for the bloody golfers!
The Golf Club is built on the land that was once a wartime radar station. Forming part of the Chain Home System, the giant radar masts (now long gone) once provided advance warning of incoming air raids.
Just to the landward side of the footpath are a series of concrete slabs which have metal rings embedded into them. These are the remaining anchor points of the barrage balloons that used to defend the site.
Most of the cliff facings were quiet, as the summer bird population had largely migrated by this time.
