Re: Over 50s Club Yorkshire
Hello
I‘m asking for some advice please
My friend and I want to walk across the Humber Bridge (eeeeek !!! I hate heights 
) ... we'll be travelling by train from Manchester and I assume that Hessle is where we should get off to be near to the bridge ... am I right ???? It then seems there's about half an hour's walk to the bridge but maybe we can get a bus ???
Any information or advice would be appreciated please.
It's a pity we won't get to see Hull but my friend isn't keen on an overnight stay

Thanks Val
the bridge is only about a mile and a half long making it 3 miles return ... easy peasy for us and we can manage the walk from and to the station as well but I wondered about a bus just to save time.

don't apologise ... I'm just grateful that I'm able to walk after having both hips replaced 8 years ago and I'm making the most of it while I can

Alternatively, go to Hull and I believe there is a bus that will take you to the Country Park, or at least just outside. Just google 'Buses from Hull to the Humber Bridge.....
Having crossed the bridge, there is a brilliant restaurant just below the West Path called 'The Tile Works' it does add a bit onto the walk, but well worth it.....
Buses from Hull here Myrtle......https://www.eyms.co.uk/bus-services/timetable/350#tt1
Alight at Humber Bridge North Approach, or alight in Barton....(the other side) and walk back.

Re: Over 50s Club Yorkshire
Thanks OGF ... I knew you'd be able to helpIt sounds as if it would be about a 7 mile walk there and back from Hessle Station ... time is the problem as we'll only have about 4 hours so not good.
I'll check out the bus from Hull to Barton so we only walk one way across the Bridge ... but the extra time on the train to Hull then bus to Barton might be a problem
