    Absolutely stunning , I definitely want to go to Spurn again but might wait until it's a bit warmer

      It would be a wise move 🤣
      I quite fancy camping out there one night 🤔

    So engrossing at a number of levels (pun). I envy the stamina.
    At timestamp [7:00] you happen to be standing very nearly at monitoring profile 122. It passes between you and the concrete slabs behind. A profile is a notional line from land to sea along which cliff loss down the coast is measured twice a year by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, using hi-tech.
    Pr122 was abandoned in 2022 because the data became meaningless With the aid of old maps, back-projection is possible. From 1854 to 2022, a period of 169 years, the cliff line is recorded as having receded 307.52 metres, or approximately a fifth of a mile (an average of 1.82 metres per year).
    Those concrete slabs in the frame mark the position of the origin road to Spurn. At the right ("Keep Left"), is the remnant of a by-pass route, itself almost gone.
    Pr123, the last of the series (Pr1 is at Sewerby), crossed the neck at not quite halfway along the overwash section. Its site may be determined only from coordinates. The tidal surge of December 2013 finished it off. Land loss there in the 160 years from 1854 was a recorded 200.23 metres, 1.25 metres per year average.
    We live in an interesting time of Spurn's evolution.

    Nearly wrote the wing commander off when looking at your screen, but enjoyable to watch video

    Great video I bet you two were knackered when you got home. It’s bad enough walking in sand mind trying to push/ ride a bike on it. Can’t wait to see the erosion footage as per usual it’s going to be a classic. Well done to the both on you and Timothy for going to such lengths to bring it to us the viewing public in our nice and cozy homes lol. 👏👏👏👍

      Cheers buddy and you're welcome 😊
      I'm about to start the google Earth vid...very curious to see anything or nothing?

    The last time I cycled this from Hull, was just before the breach. Sadly I moved away to the south west, so I doubt I will ever cycle this again.

    My parents pushed me all the way down spurn when i was a child in a pushchair over 50 years ago, we use to stay at the Crown and anchor pub when it was owned by the oldest landlady in England Mrs Robinson, happy times, love your videos.😎

    I rode my motorcycle down to photograph the lighthouses in 2001. It looks, erm, different now.
