A couple of month’s ago we had a local adventure in discovering the Fish Trail in Hull City Centre. I had completed this as a child but despite living back here for over five years, I hadn’t taken my three children to discover the 41 different spots.
Our adventure was a part of The Hull Hub Issue 7 which is currently available to pick up at different locations in and around the city. You can also read online.
So we mentioned the Egg Rolling Geocaching event in a recent previous blog post and we thought we better share what we got up to with you all.
We went along on Easter Sunday and it was our second year to visit this much loved event. It’s so much fun and the kids were looking forward to it. We decided to get rubber eggs this year, a tad naughty, we just wanted to have some extra fun. Each of us decorated our eggs as you can see, they are placed in age order as well.
Both sides were decorated, above are the reverse of the eggs. I think you will agree that we all put some great effort into them.
Egg Rolling is basically to roll an egg down the hill and to see which one gets the farthest. We wanted to share the fun with you so have put together a short video for you all…
Unfortunately I had an influx of work and had to do some traveling but now I am back I am able to update you on our happenings. I have a few draft blog posts ready to go and so you should hear from us again soon.
Last year we attended Bobo Frett’s Easter Egg Rolling event for the first time. A Geocaching event with a bit of fun added into it.
We will be returning to this years event which is next weekend on the 21st April 2-3pm.
This year we are a little better prepared as we know what to expect. All three kids have already decorated their eggs and are excited for this years event.
You can find out more over at GC852WV, let us know if you are coming as well.
A social gathering for geocachers to discuss geocaching.
The Brocklesby Egg Rolling Competition 2019
Roll up! Roll up! And once you’ve rolled up let’s roll down…again!
This is our fifth egg rolling competition down Mausoleum Hill on the Brocklesby Estate. Egg rolling is not compulsory.
Have a look at the fun we had at last year’s event:
What a perfect add on when you are visiting Beverley in East Yorkshire. Cherry View Milk has its own MILK VENDING MACHINE!
Rob was told about this from someone at his work and so we thought we would check it out whilst out Geoaching nearby. We had to share with you our adventures, at first we captured on our Instagram profiles but then we decided to grab some footage to make a clip. Keep on reading to watch.
We visited a couple of weeks ago and were lucky to have some nice weather.
Cherry View Milk is open daily 7am-7pm, you just pull up and park on the drive. At first we weren’t sure what to expect or where we could go and where we couldn’t go. Other families were visiting at the same time and that encouraged us to visit the cows and explore.
You purchase a milk bottle from one vending machine if you don’t have one already £1.50. You can keep this for future use and the machine has a sterilising feature.
Fresh milk:1 litre= £1 / 2 litre= £2
The milk was delicious and certainly fresh, I think you can gather that from Rob’s tasting on our clip. We will say no more, except this, if you have a chance to go then it is a must to visit.
Friday 30th and the Gilmour’s set out into Hull City Centre for the Urban Legends: Northern Lights. It’s only on until the 2nd December and so we thought going on a Friday may be quieter, especially with three children to walk around and get good views.
A FREE event to enjoy on an autumn evening.
We started at the Hull Minster which was indoors and a mesh like screen which made the display look 3D, I have shared some of the footage in the video if you keep scrolling down. It was fascinating but our three year old found it scary and we didn’t stay long, there is also a one way system which you don’t realise until you try and get out. It wasn’t a good start to our evening but we persevered and it was worth it.
An interactive walkway proved popular for our three children and it was rather impressive as you walked almost the whole length of Parliament Street. Rob and I rather enjoyed it as well, the sound effects and change in the walkway, it was a beautiful and colourful display.
A teepee in the Queens Gardens with a projection from the inside out and I was delighted to see a signer for the hearing impaired.
A colourful pattern display in King Edwards Square was again lovely to watch but our favourite has got to be…
Oh the night!
We were very excited to see a fox feature in the story and the older children were able to follow the wording of the story. An amazing choir that brought it to life even more and lasting around 15 minutes. Check out the video below.
We didn’t however take advantage of the 3 shop windows on Whitefriargate due to having the pram for our youngest and not wanting to fight the crowd. If you get a chance to go and you have children, try and get there earlier in the day and check out Whitefriargate first, considering to not take a pram may be the best option for viewing on this area.
