Spurn Point Lighthouse

This weekend we loaded the bikes onto  the car and headed a long way East towards Spurn Point. We had booked a night's B&B just outside the gates to the nature reserve famous for its bird life.
Having arrived just before lunchtime there was a downpour, so the Crown and Anchor pub seemed more enticing than a bike ride, although we were soaked by the time we did the short walk to the pub.
We learned that part of the road along the narrowest part of the long spit of land that reaches out across the mouth of the Humber Estuary was washed away in an exceptionally high tide in 2013. We decided it wouldn't be much fun pushing bikes across a mile or so of rocky sand, so we walked out along what was left of the road to the lighthouse - some 3.5 miles. The cycling will be tomorrow's exercise!
Today's blip is of the lighthouse viewed from the East side, with the North sea to the right. Out at sea you can just see one of the many wind farms that have sprung up off the coast in recent years.
The lighthouse has not been operational since 1985, but has recently been renovated and opened to the public. Today's extras show the view from the top looking out towards the end of the Spurn, and another looking back along the spit in which you can see it sweeping left back towards the mainland.
