Humber Bridge Oct 2016_0118

            I recently had an early morning trip to the Humber Bridge. Truthfully, I should have set off on the seventy odd mile drive earlier, I was away at 6.16 am but had a coffee stop and subsequently drove into a stunning sunrise. The trip was an attempt to have a day away on my own as I'm going through a painful breakup at the moment. It didn't work, I had far too much time to think.

I walked across the eastern side and back across the opposite one. I have walked over it before and used to cross it very regularly as a wagon driver to get from an early tip in Hull to pick a load up in Scunthorpe or Lincoln. It didn't help that it was a trip down memory lane...yet again!

I called in Hull for breakfast, drove up the coast to Hornesea and on to Bridlington. I parked and walked along the beach to the centre, It was full of families and people who were either smoking, drinking, stuffing fish and chips in their mouths or eating ice cream. perhaps it was my depressed mood that gave me such a jaundiced view of Brid' but I just needed to get in the car and drive. I went up to Filey and then cut for home down the A64. It was probably a poor choice for a day out alone. I drove past the hospital in Hull where my younger brother died following a car accident in 1978. I then drove over the spot on the A64 where my mother died in the same accident. I'm not given to dwelling on the crap that life throws at you but it was a tough day.
