Trip to the Humber Bridge

Today I caught the bus into Hull and then caught another one to the Humber Bridge Country Park.  I caught the bus at ten and Lesley was waiting at the stop so we had a good chat on the journey in. That journey was an hour and forty minutes rather than an hour and ten minutes as there were temporary traffic lights and we were in the traffic hardly moving for half an hour. So I didn’t catch the bus to the bridge until ten past twelve. It must be the best part of a mile to actually reach the bridge, then of course there are the steps up to it! I walked along the bridge until I was over the river before heading back.

Although my right knee was quite painful today I didn’t want to go to the park and not make my way down to the foreshore.

Loved this painting, then made my way back up to the bus stop.

I was lucky and a bus came along just after I got up to the stop,m not so lucky in Hull though as the bus was running very late and I had been standing for about twenty minutes and told it might be another twenty. I really can’t stand for that long so I went and got a drink nd decided to get the next one and hope it was on time. It was but the traffic was awful so half and hour after leaving we were still in Hull! 

It was lovely to see Tina when I got off the bus, I had let her know when I was likely to be home. She was off to the chippy so I gave her my order!

A long and tiring day with challenging walking for someone as decrepit as me, but so glad I made the effort and the bridge is one of my favourite places.
