We are the Midlife Hikers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a joint walk for Get Your Boots On (GYBO) and Midlife Hikers (MLH).
GYBO is our sister group and aimed at people in their 20s and 30s.
It’s circular walk from Driffield following the Canal up to Wansford where we will see the historic locks. From there we will walk along the Beck to Nafferton. Passing through the village, we will follow the track heading back to Driffield. There is a good chance of seeing interesting wildlife which may include kingfishers and herons.
