A bimble around Goole.

Big change in the weather today. After raining all night, it's been drizzling for most of the day. 

Here are the pictures of sunny Goole yesterday. There is a big Marina there, which is home to a lot of narrowboats. As everything is on the same level there are no vantage points to take photographs. I had a walk around, as far as I was allowed. There is a bar restaurant for the boaters and visitors. It was a nice day to sit outside. I ate my packup. 

I pointed my camera across the water, and zoomed towards some cargo and maintenance boats. 

According to Marine Traffic, the general cargo ship, Spanaco Reliability, sails under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. It departed at 19.35 last night and is at present in the North sea heading for Latvia. 

I didn't have much time left to do a detailed tour of Goole, but that's ok, I have been before. There are some interesting buildings around the dock area. When you see buildings of this size and compare them to anything modern in town centres, it is sad to see the building skills we have now are much more inferior. 

There are more pictures of Goole from a previous visit in July 2015. 

I had a walk through the Market Hall hoping to see traditional stalls. No such luck. It was full of tables and chairs, families and groups, drinking and eating, listening to loud music. It was like a giant Wetherspoons. Awful. Far too noisy for me. 

I had a look at this church while I was there. Searching for a bit of peace and quiet. Pity it wasn't open. 

Time to move on. I will head towards home along country roads and I might see something else I can stop and have a look at.

Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow. I hope the weather picks up a bit. I did go out this afternoon. The mizzle wasn't enough to dampen my spirits. Got to make an effort.  

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.
