Start as we mean to go on

Although this post is almost a week late, we saw the new year in next to Spurn Head - the sandy spit at the mouth of the River Humber. The Crown and Anchor pub beside our CL site was perfect for a meal and few quiet beers.

In the morning we drove the 3 miles to the tip of Spurn Head and had a great walk along the shore and through the Marram Grass to circle the only full time lifeboat community in Britain. Luckily the weather was kind - I imagine it can get a bit wild! We didn't see many birds though (it's a nature reserve by the way).

What made this even more special was a) the amazing sunset we had on new year's eve and b) we didn't even know of Spurn Head 48 hours earlier. We just decided spending new year on the east coast was a good way to start the year, and through a process of elimination of available Caravan Club sites we found ourselves there. The site we stayed at was fine, but the toilets didn't pass my daughters stringent test i.e. she peered through the door and said "no!". I have to admire her standards. There are plenty of other sites to choose from when we no doubt return. Although it does make me wonder whether I need to revisit the idea of having our own loo on board.
