Dull Hull

The normal Candlish holiday in recent years has included a couple of visits to Hull - as a good way to leave and re-join the UK.

But traditions can be broken or amended, so this year we parked the Hobby in a nearby campsite (lovely - another small one) and spent a few days hitting the heights and sights.






Hull has 1000 museums and (deep joy) they are mainly free to enter.  So we went to find out all about William Wilberforce, East Yorkshire, The Art Gallery, the Philip Larkin exhibition at the library, and quite a few more things.


The phone boxes are completely the wrong colour, and some of the Exhibits in the transport museum are "exciting"
We also managed to get free tickets for a BBC recording of the Kitchen Cabinet, and in general, had a great few days.


We came back in October, where normal service was resumed - zooming through the city centre, straight to the ferry for Zeebrugge.
