点评:We had a fantastic walk and Brigantes our tour company, seems to be a by word for walking the Yorkshire Wolds. All went to plan and accommodation very comfortable and homely.
I loved finding out about Yorkshire. The countryside and the people who were all very friendly.
What we didn’t find in any guide book:
The countryside largely dominated by farming. A lot of the walk was along the sides of huge fields. With no insects no birds no nothing. A bit like a desert. We did see some buzzards and a kestrel near South Cave. But really that was it. I have seen more wild life in my back garden to be honest. Which was a disappointment.
Also we walked during the shooting season with newly released birds everywhere. At one stage ended up in the middle of a shoot. Which halted until we were off side. And heard the guns then going off as we walked away. If you are someone who would find this upsetting avoid the walk in late September/ October time.
The churches on route esp in areas with little or no facilities offer tea/ coffee and a biscuit. Which was a life saver at times.
Even through it was late September one day the temperature was 24 degrees. And we had no shade or wind on this day. And that walk was very draining and difficult due to the heat. Advise to bring clothes for the heat. Even later in the year!
Alot of the walk had no phone signal!!!!!!
Managed on Paddy Dillons Guidebook.
And OS paper maps.
Over all a great experience!
翻译:我们进行了一次很棒的徒步旅行,而我们所参加的旅行社Brigantes,似乎已经成了在约克郡沃兹地区徒步旅行的代名词。一切都按计划进行,住宿环境也非常舒适且温馨。
我很喜欢了解约克郡。那里的乡村风光迷人,人们也都十分友善。
那些在任何旅游指南上都找不到的信息:
这片地区的乡村以农业为主。大部分徒步路线都沿着大片农田的边缘延伸。那里没有昆虫,没有鸟儿,什么都没有。有点像沙漠一般。我们在南凯夫附近确实看到了一些秃鹫和红隼。但也就仅此而已了。说实话,我在自家后院看到的野生动物都比这多。这真让人失望。
此外,我们在狩猎季节徒步,当时到处都是刚被放归的鸟群。有一次我们甚至走到了狩猎区域的中央,结果狩猎行动不得不暂停,直到我们离开。当我们走远后,还能听到枪声。如果你是个容易为此感到不安的人,那么最好在九月底或十月时避免走这条路线。沿途的教堂,尤其是在那些几乎没有便利设施的地区,都会提供茶/咖啡和饼干。这些有时候真是救急之物。
虽然当时已是九月下旬,但有一天气温达到了24度。那天我们既没有阴凉处可躲,也没有一丝风。酷热使得这次徒步极为耗费体力且艰难。建议即便在年末时节也带上防暑衣物!
沿途很多地方都没有手机信号!!!!!!
我们是靠《Paddy Dillon旅行指南》以及英国国家地图局出版的纸质地图才顺利完成行程的。总体来说,这是一次很棒的体验!
