Day 6 - Skegness to Barton-upon-Humber
This will be the second running day, and also a longer one than the last 51 mile run. We are still on the East Coast of the United Kingdom but am moving ever closer to Scotland. These are some of the flattest areas which I will be passing on my 4500 mile expedition with a combined ascent of merely 571ft and descent of 564ft with the highest point being 59ft for this day.
Skegness station where I will be starting from was opened in 1873 where the first train arrived on 28 July and was then dubbed the "Blackpool" of the East Coast.

This leg of my journey will take the longest to complete so far with estimated times of 13 - 15 hours for this 68 mile day, with a minimum energy consumption in the area of roughly 7594 calories, the biggest energy consumption i would endure in the first week.
I will be passing towns/ cities like Sutton-on-Sea, North Somercotes, the historical Grimsby, Immingham and then finally Barton-upon-Humber railway station.
The aim of this blog is to give you some idea of what I expect for the different days of my fifty day expedition and is by no means absolute in any/ all calculations as situations may change on the drop of a hat.
I will keep a more specific update as this expedition is underway, explaining the differences between the reality of this journey and these earlier explanatory blogs. So I would like you to take this journey with me how I am perceiving not only all the obstacles and downfalls but also all the beauty that this great country has to offer.
