Thanks again, Andy & Co. I visited/pilgrimaged to Spurn Point circa 1990, with my Darling Mary and our Dearest, younger daughter Louise. The shifting sands of time have indeed left their mark. Photographs of that time are still extant in my archive, somewhere safe ... Bye for now. To you, L, Thomas et al. Rab 👋 🕊
By the way, I shall gladly search out those 'quite' modern 30 years old artefacts of Spurn Point images and send them to you for publication if you wish.: Caveat: if accepted, please only publish open-faced images of me, and obscure those of my Loved Ones. Thank you. R 👍
It’s a nice place. The YWT do guided tours with transportation and tea breaks. Details on their website. Nothing to do with me but it’s easier than a six mile walk on ankle deep sand :)
Brilliant video Andy. Brings back memories. Definitely need to visit again. Those magazines look to be in such great condition after being buried. I’d forgotten just how wide Spurn is as you get further along the peninsula and also just how far it is from the entrance. Looking forward to the next part 👍🏼🙂
Hi Andy..that road is disappearing fast, I rode my mountain bike along there to the life boat houses afew years ago, and the road was only breached as little as a 100yds by the sea, an easily navigated..the power of nature is amazing, that's for a great video thank you.
It's a fantastic place. Well done, Andy & Harry. 9.2 inchers were silk baggers, iirc. The state of preservation of the gun emplacement and the ammunition bunkers is excellent. Cheers.
Fascinating vlog, Andy, I never knew any ww2 remains still existed on Spurn Point, so looking forward to part 2. Defo worth a visit. As usual from you, well researched with great narration & photography, well done, m8. Regards Urban Geeze
Very interesting place. Imagine being stationed there, Christ it must have been bleak! The prevailing wind was set during WW2 , to allow a smoke screen over the peninsular.
Hi Andy just come over from IKS I live the other side of the river the RNLI moved off the island when the breach happened they are building a new lifeboat station on Cleethorpes beach. I had the privilege to be part of the transcription of the oral history of the local fisherman who manned the anti submarine net that crossed the mouth it was fascinating
Brown-tail moths, the female coast the eggs she lays in hairs from her abdomen and both these and the hairs on the communally living catterpillars can be very irritating to many people
Excellent video gentlemen..... I have not been since 2018 with IKS Exploration .... Need to go back!
I bet the hoe boys are there before we know it

Hello there, it certainly is well restored :)
Thank you for the walking tour of the former military base. Always look forward to your videos, Andy. See you on the next! 😅😊
Hello Martin, thanks very much. It was a nice day out

Thanks very much.
Awesome video! I think I need to make a trek up that way for a visit…
You certainly should. It's very exposed so planning is key
@@ALWResearchTeam thanks buddy, I will definitely base my planning on your advice…
Great to see this Andy, very interesting. Surprised there was so much activity and vehicle traffic. I really enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff :-)
I look across to Spurn from where I live in Cleethorpes. Looks like I need to drive round and put on my walking boots. Thanks for your story.
It’s certainly worth a visit if the weather is good:-)
Fantastic explore guys I’ve seen something that I would never have seen 👏👏👏
You’re very welcome. More to come next week
Very interesting thank you you learn something new everyday no matter your age x
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting place. Imagine being stationed there, Christ it must have been bleak!
The prevailing wind was set during WW2 , to allow a smoke screen over the peninsular.
Yep pretty bleak but I wouldn’t have minded it :)
@@ALWResearchTeam ok Andy I was embellishing about the prevailing wind. You're too sharp to be caught out with that one 😁

Hello there, that’s really interesting to read. Thanks for coming over
Been there many times birdwatching, with the clearance of the scrub there wil be less birds but what the hell this is history!
Snacks tea coffee at 17:33
Ahh there must have been a café in the past
