An account of one of those regular Saturday railway  walks by Stuart Parker of Lincoln Group on  3rd October 2009.

“ Forty seven walkers took part in a Railway Walk from Kirton-in-Lindsey to Brigg. This line has three Saturdays-only passenger trains direct from Sheffield to Cleethorpes via Brigg.
This joint walk with Lincolnshire Ramblers and the Penistone Line Partnership was led by Stuart Parker, Area Secretary.
Walkers from as far as Manchester and Mansfield joined with colleagues from the Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Gainsborough, Sleaford, Grantham and Grimsby groups for the 8 mile linear walk along public footpaths from Kirton station, up the cliff edge near to Mount Pleasant windmill, then on cross field paths to Hibaldstow and alongside the River Ancholme from Cadney Bridge into Brigg. Walkers enjoyed the variety of shops, pubs and cafes in Brigg before catching the 15.53 return train to Sheffield.
Local MP for Brigg, Ian Cawsey and his wife, came to welcome the walkers and thanked them for visiting Brigg.”
