Spurn Point
Posted by Skytower on Fri April 6, 2007
I haven't yet mentioned the day out a few days ago. This is mainly down to the fact that it was bobbins.
Having studied a few pictures, and read a few pieces of bumph, we opted to fit in Spurn Point and Hornsea ( both in the "East Riding Of Yorkshire" ) on the same day. To say that Spurn Point left a lot to be desired is probably a generous description. Don't get me wrong, it's probably a great place for birdspotting, or nature trails – but for a standard day out, there's little of interest. We ended up doing a seven mile walk along the length of the point, pretty much as far as the lighthouse, and then back. Within an hour and three quarters. No sooner had we got to the end, we about-turned and headed back. There wasn't even anything to take photos of, really… here's the other four of the five taken that featured something semi-reasonable:
And that was about it. It actually looks better in the photos, and hides the fact that the beach is a bit of a shed.
Not a lot to be added about Hornsea, either. No photos, because the cold north-easterly wind turned us into cowards, but thumbs up to the fish and chip restaurant that did a nice serving of scampi/jumbo sausage. Not a lot else there, mind you – or so it seemed, anyway.
I think we'll put a little more planning into the next day out!

Have you not noticed that the east yorkshire coast is eroding at a perilous rate, have you not noticed that no-one cares …… personally i’m hoping that Hull disappears up its own arse – i mean into the sea. It’s an area of desolation – that describes the area and the people!

Shit, knew I forgot to add something to that post.
Hull.
Sorry for anyone who lives there, or likes it, but it’s perhaps the most one-eyed dump I’ve ever had the misfortune to drive around. The roads are worse than cart-tracks and the signage is about as useful as having Stevie Wonder as a navigator.

Thats a wee bit tame Si, I wouldn’t have been so positive about the place, there’s only one place worse than Hull ……… Donny Donny Donny …aaaaa aaaa aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
