Bridges and Fish

Our first day in Scunthorpe started with a decision to leave Whitby for another trip - we've all had enough of driving for the moment, though our alternatives still involved significant distances.

After breakfast with Dot and Bernard we headed off to see the Humber bridge. It's currently the 8th longest bridge span in the world, but was once the 1st. We drove over, parked and then walked back, though not all 1410 m.

The river looks almost like a small sea. The wind was quick and cold so we didn't hang about but headed back and then on to Beverly.

The first thing you notice in Beverly is the impressive Minster. We'd had quite a lot of cathedrals recently, and York Minster is promised for tomorrow, so we had a quick look and headed for a tea shop for lunch

After looking around Beverly we headed back to Hull and visited the Deep which is a giant aquarium with lots of interactive features to keep us all interested. The penguins were a hit.

We surfaced into the dark afternoon and headed back to Scunthorpe for steak and mushroom pie followed by apple crumble. Thanks Dot!
