Spurn Point

I last visited Spurn Point, the peninsular at the mouth of the Humber, about 18 years ago. So I was a bit surprised to discover that it is now an island. A storm in 2013 ripped the spit apart and now at high tide it often becomes cut off from the mainland. I walked across the sand that connects the two bits of land, and made it back before high tide. It certainly adds a bit of excitement to the trip. It is a strange place with lots of military remnants lying around [a railway, pill boxes etc] and plenty of evidence of the raw power of the tide [concrete scattered about with disdain]. I liked it but it may be a while before I return [it is the other side of Hull].
