Kirton Lindsey Station to Brigg Station

A workable but uninspiring route in three stages: a long diagonal across many stony, clay-rich agricultural fields (a real slog when wet or ploughed), a short straightforward stretch through Hibaldstow to the River Ancholme, then a long walk along the raised river bank to Brigg and with a picturesque tree-lined avenue on the approach. One 500m stretch by the river is almost totally overgrown. The route follows the raised bank of the New Ancholme, then the old river towards Brigg.

13km. Gentle ascents.

Crossing the busy A15 single carriageway involves overgrown steps and climbing over the safety barrier on both sides, with no pedestrian crossing or bridge; a 500m stretch along the river bank is almost totally overgrown with nettles (expect stings in summer with bare legs); the western bank of the Ancholme is not usable due to unbridged tributaries.
