After walking out of Howden center past the green area of the playing fields and fish ponds, the route crosses the A614 Boothferry Road at a roundabout and there are no pedestrian lights to cross here, although there is an island so one only has to cross each lane at a time. The other side the option to walk on soft ground ends, with single tarmac footpath to and through Howdendyke village, with a need to cross the road a couple of times. After passing through Laxton village there is a small stretch of respite from road walking as the footpath follows the drainage dykes zig-zagging the fields to meet the road to Gilberdyke - same as before, lovely if its sunny, not great if its wet, but worst if there is wind - very exposed....

Eventually leads you to walking next to the Humber and connecting back up with the train station, which is a nice change of scenery....

At points you are walking alongside fields, which is nice but ultimately it would be nice to have an alternative path that includes more public footpaths through nature - something to look at, instead of keeping an eye on where you are walking and what’s coming towards you....

After passing under the rail bridge, the footpath meets a tarmacked lane for the rest of the way to Broomfleet. After this point, the footpath is a grassy raised path walking between the rail lines and the river, with a narrow sheep field at the side....

Up until Eastrington some of the sections there is not enough safe space to walk along the roads, especially the section on Long Lane. Second section after that is nicer. Gilberdyke doesn't have many amenities but there is a SPAR shop and The White Horse Inn pub off the main road towards Scalby (we didn't visit it in this occasion)...

Gilberdyke to Newport then following the Market Weighton Canal path which is well signposted. Joins the Humber estuary walk which goes all the way to Hessel....

I suggest an alternative route to Eastrington might be via the footpath from Howden Station along Drain Lane track, crossing A614 to footpath Burland to Portington....
