Bull Sands Fort - BBC Look North - Extreme Adventurers - Hull - Humber Estuary - Powerboat

Update 2020 - Footage used by BBC Look North for an article on 'extreme adventurers' - what not to do in the Humber Estuary. Infamous at last? However, please note the wearing of divers dry suits and Hi-Vis clothing on top as well as automatic life jackets - three RIBs and all in touch on VHF radio. Were we travelling too fast at times, I'll let you decide? Would I go on Bull Fort again - not likely, it's crumbling badly now!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Years' trip along the Humber Estuary for three RIB's - Optimus, Nicola and Kimberley. Launched from the Humber Bridge and rode the waves and tide for 30 miles down the estuary to Bull Sands Fort. Lunch on Spurn Point and also stopped for a pint at The Minerva on the way back - great day out!

My grandfather worked on the fort before 1940, as a meteorologist I belive. Really hard to find info on it, so this was a great video to watch.

HI Paul, are you happy for us to use a clip of this on BBC Look North today? thanks

[@paulsiddle]

No problem

[@jadehaider1229]

About to go to auction starting at £50000. Awesome piece of history.

[@OriginalOwner777]

There are plans in place for it to be refitted and restored for use as a detox// rehab center. It would be good to see aids from history once again playing a part in the future.

Where is the rest of the film?

[@philipmarlowe4682]

I know people who have paddled to the fort near tetney

[@neilfoster9508]

Bull Sands fort is still owned by Streetwise Charitable Trust, so we are the current owners.

[@pikotech1]

I don't believe it exists any more, which makes me wonder who the owners are now... register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=1015968&subid=0

[@StromSports]

Hi Can you shoot me a line?

[@4BJLOVEMYCOCK]

Not far off from how the future is going to look 😂😂

[@wesleyscott2169]

no tour of the place that sucks

[@robsmithracing]

Sealand 2 😂

[@sahhull]

Bull Sands Fort was owned by Streetwise Charitable Trust who was restoring the fort for use as a drug rehabilitation facility. The trust no longer operates. I dont know who the current owners are but Im sure they will be slightly miffed by your tresspass on their property. The smaller Haile Sands Fort was sold in 2018. I wonder what they will do with it?

[@TheMightyKinkle]

Drug rehab? Wow. Like a mini Alcatraz almost

[@stevenvamplew7145]

a covid retreat would be grand

[@dmaudsley]

Trespass on its own isn't illegal. If no damage was caused, no one was obstructed and no one stayed after being asked to leave then there's no law against anything they did.

[@user-fs5lc2dl7t]

too much of boats just messing around...and little or nothing about the fort itself

[@stevenvamplew7145]

its not a good idea to go that speed in the humber, you have tree debris etc coming down from goole etc. good vid though,keep safe.
