  The path emerges into a wide lane, bear left and follow the lane to South Cliff Farm. Here the lane ends at a gate leading into Barton Cliff Quarry - no right of way.

  Continue past the information board along the Humber Bank to a headland where the path swings left.

  The Viking Way turns right down steps to a pebbly beach. Bear left uphill on a wide track, merging into a quarry road. Keep right uphill. The road bends right to the last quarry, now used as a police firing range.

  This is our destination (a fine viewpoint). Retrace steps to point 8 (point 3 on our outward route).
