While the current travel restrictions are in place I have no new stories to post so what I thought that I would do is to go through my picture archives and see where I was on this day at any time in the last few travelling years.
On 26th July 2019 I was in Skipsea in Yorkshire just a few miles north of where I live…

The advance of the sea is relentless.
Every year along the Holderness coast nearly two metres of coastline is swept away, an estimated average of two million tonnes which is moved south on the tides towards the Humber estuary and builds land there where they don’t want it whilst it takes it away from here where they do.

It is receding rapidly. This year I am going to Staithes for a few days in a cottage. I think they have proper cliffs there.

Have you worked out what year it will have disappeared completely? Love Staithes! I’d rather like to stay there. 🙂 🙂

I think it depends on how fierce the winter storms are.
It was you that put me on to Staithes, I think you did a Monday Walk there some time ago.

Thanks Derrick. The cornfield picture was a lucky capture and I have a large canvas print of it on the wall.

I remember this one. Lovely carefree family pictures contrasting with horrible erosion.

Many years ago we stayed in a bungalow at Knipe Point, Osgodby but a couple of years later it was one of the victims of erosion. More recently we stayed in a cottage overlooking the sea just south of Filey. When we looked at it from the beach two or three years ago the garden had disappeared and the property was no longer advertised for bookings.

Fascinating post, Andrew. We posted a parallel story about Dunwich in Suffolk a while ago, although we missed out on finding a “Brian” to give us such interesting detail!

A disappearing coast is inevitable it seems!
