As a born, raised and present Dutchie, seeing a bike satisfies me. They're my main way of getting around; I don't have a driver's license and am not interested in getting one for the time being either. Must say I live too far from the sea to have ever done anything like this before though.
Last time I was down there, I drove to the end. There was a lifeboat station and the Humber Pilot boats used to go out from the jetty. I didn't realise the road had gone.
Great video. The unusual vehicle parked near the visitor centre is the ‘unimog’ which is used to take visitors on tours of Spurn Point. Book with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Loved the Christmas lights in Patrington. Thanks Andy for your epic endeavours!
Walking around the beach at the end of Spurn is an experience watching how the water changes from estuary to open sea step by step as you walk around. It's like at one point somebody has switched a wave machine on, it changes so fast
Well done Andy, the washover’s not an easy walk even without a bike to push, hint the fisherman and bait diggers that go often use electric bikes. Quick shout out for the wildlife trust safaris in the unimog, the easiest way of getting to the point
Welcome back to the ERoY.. I visited SpurnPoint on numerous occasions as I love that area but sadly the road to the lighthouse is now not passable.. Thankyou for the memories your video has given me..
Hi Andy. Nice see Trevor . A face to the name. Costal ... scary. ❤ old buildings. Some interesting houses. Amenities sports . Nice see. Another great video. Thanks.
Thanks, Andy, been looking forward to this one. Shame the weather wasn't on your side, but that happens. Using the bike courtesy of Trevor worked well, I think. I am a member of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and anyone wanting to follow your visit might be interested in their bike hire, £10 per person per day. Access to both the Centre and Spurn National Nature Reserve is free, but some activities and events will incur an extra cost.
Really good episode, Andy. I applaud you taking the bike down there in that weather. Not many of us locals around here have lol Lovely to see our Christmas lights at the end of the video, too 👏 It’s good to have it documented before it’s devoured by the sea, as it will be, sadly. It will join the list of lost places along our coast.
