Near the tip of Spurn Head
NO DOGS even in cars (Nature Reserve)! OS ref: TA 40014 11011
Spurn Head is an extraordinary place to visit (even more so from
the air!). It is a 3 mile long spit of sand and shingle projecting
from the SE corner of East Yorkshire into the Humber Estuary and is
gradually being pushed to the West as the seaward side is eroded
and fresh material is deposited on the estuary side. Occasionally
the sea breaks through and the lifeboatmen and Humber pilots who
live at the end are cut off.
The Head is a nature reserve administered by the Yorkshire Wildlife
Trust so please respect it – a charge of £3.00 is made for cars but
you can walk the 3 miles there and back for free. While there take
time to see the lighthouses old and new and especially if the tide
is high the shipping to Hull, Immingham and Grimsby can be
spectacular. Also, of course, this is one of the prime bird
watching sites in Britain especially at migration time.
The cache is near the café caravan, which is kept by one of the
lifeboatmen 200 yards beyond the public car park. It is a red
topped small pill box with a green Geocaching sticker in a clump of
Sea Buckthorn, so wear strong trousers. This is not the original
cache which was "got at" so has limited space for goodies or log -
sadly too it has no travel bug!
