Linking Grimsby and Louth, this rural route celebrates the Silver Jubilee of the Grimsby / Louth group of The Ramblers' Association.
Starting from the roundabout in Scartho, on the edge of Grimsby, the route uses surprisingly pleasant field paths and tracks to Barnoldby-le-Beck, Brigsley and Ashby-cum-Fenby, before hitting higher ground at East Ravendale.
A beautiful, undulating route leads south from here towards Louth, where the run finishes at the famous town-centre church.
