Life on the River Humber

It was a bit blustery yesterday, but no matter. I have a woolly hat, a jacket with a hood, and a scarf, that will keep me snug for a walk along the river. 

The River Humber is very wide, and it's tidal, so the wind was creating waves. Just like being at the seaside. I parked at South Ferriby and went down onto the beach, for a walk towards Barton on Humber. I couldn't go the whole distance on the beach because the path which is part of the Viking Way, turns inland for a bit to avoid the boggy reed beds. At one point it goes around the edge of a farm, and then there is a track along the top of the bank. The wind really whipped across on that section. 

The white stones give it the look of a paradise island, but it it hellish to walk any distance on it. 

That's the cement works over there at South Ferriby, operated by Cemex UK. 
 

I made it to the Humber Bridge, then turned round and headed back, by a slightly different route.  

Almost back, I finished the walk off on the track above the beach. Into view came a boat. Quick get a photo. There are several small docks up river, and this boat was on it's way out to sea. 

Then came another. 

And another, they were following each other. 

The river is difficult to navigate because of all the sandbanks. They can only go up and down it at certain times according to the tides. They zig zag across the water. You can see the blue boat just coming into view as it follows the green one around that buoy. 

Well that was a bonus to see these, I didn't expect to see four boats. One had a Russian name, the others were H & S Wisdom, H & S Prudence, and Leiria. I've just been on the Marine Traffic web site and see that Leiria is at Moerdijk, Netherlands at the moment. It took one day and four hours to sail from Groveport UK. It was built in 2003, and sails under the flag of Antigua Barbuda. Fascinating eh! 

I've just had a look to see where my yacht ILONA is at the moment. It is moored at Vilanova in Spain. The information on Marine Traffic used to be free, but like most sites now, if you want more details you have to sign up to a plan, which costs. It was through this web site that I found out where the ILONA yacht was moored at Canary Wharf for the Olympics in 2012, which prompted me to go down to London to see it. This is the blog post about the visit. 

Oooops I digress, back to the walk. There is a pond at South Ferriby which is being looked after by volunteers. I remember years ago it was just a stinky manky mucky hole in the ground. Now the gardens have been cultivated and planted, a path has been laid, and a bench sited. It's very pretty. 

It even has a Bug Hotel. 

It was a lovely walk, I really enjoyed it, and another five miles added to my total. I think some of these photo's are in the wrong order, but I think you get my drift. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
