Off Topic The **** beer and is Hull on the coast thread...

Oh dear. Man doesn’t know where an estuary is. Where the river meets the sea. Though Hull is indeed on a river. The clue being the name of the city. Which isn’t Kingston Upon Humber.

Meanwhile , the HDM, which last week was saying Hull is a small coastal city now says it is an hour’s drive to the coast in today’s edition.

 

Did a bit of fishing from the cliffs in Hull whilst watching the puffins, walked along the sand dunes then went out in a boat spinning for mackerel. Felt sorry for the donkeys in this heat trudging along Hull beach.

 

Hull is on the River Hull. An estuary is where the river flows out to the sea. Which is not at Hull.

 

Bruges year ago was a port on the coast. No one says it is on the coast.

And how the land was before Hull even came into existence isn’t really relevant to now.

 

Went for a walk along the coast today, by hell that Viccy Dock village is big.

 

A place on the coast is somewhere where the sea laps along it's border(s). Does not the sea, through it's tidal activity, co-mingle with the waters of the Humber, in it's estuary on the borders of parts of Hull ? If it does then it's next to the waters of the sea. Ergo coastal ! No ?

 

No.

 

Is the beach there sand or shingle?

 

Took this yesterday while walking on the Humber bank near Spurn. Fabulous beach and azure waters.

 

Then the weather/shipping forecast announcing low tide/high tide is meaningless for Hull/Humber , unless all the action is from the West due to the upper river Humber ebb & flow.
The moon's a balloon.

 

Not sure mate, too busy looking at the houses.

 

An hour's drive?

What the **** are they driving, a Model T?

 

The sandbanks off the coast at Brough do actually look pretty sandy at low tide.

 

Are you seriously saying that where the River Hull flows into the Humber isn’t Hull?!

I’ll get into the Deep and tell them to get their address updated.

What should they use instead?

Or have you just decided to make up your own definition for an estuary

Not that I’m discussing why but I know for an absolute fact that the Govt consider Hull to be on the coast, I receive funding because of it.

 

The MCGA define where the Humber becomes the sea as:
Winter: seaward of a line drawn from Goxhill Haven to Paull.
Summer: seaward of a line drawn from Cleethorpes to Patrington.
This is based on maximum wave heights that are likely to be encountered.

Salinity varies with season, but the Ouse and Trent are practically fresh water (<2 parts per thousand of salt) at Selby and Gainsborough respectively. Salinity at the Humber Bridge ranges from about 7ppt (winter) to 15ppt (summer). Seawater is about 25ppt.

 

Mods

Can we please have this thread as a sticky?

 

.

Sincerely, I cannot imagine.

 

I had a Crown Estste metal detecting permit which allowed you to search the UK coastline anywhere between the high tide and low tide lines. On the map the Humber was included as coastline

 

Queenie knows...
