RIVERSIDE REFLECTIONS ON SPRING BANK HOLIDAY IN BRIGG


Spring bank holiday in Brigg usually sees plenty of activity on the River Ancholme, but these are not normal times because of the Cornavirus emergency  restrictions and the uncertainty prevailing in late May 2020.
Pictured above we see Glanford Boat Club yesterday (Sunday) with craft that would normally be back on the water by now still on dry land, rather than undertaking pleasurable trips up and down the river.


We also failed to find any river-related activity going on at Ancholme Rowing Club, again pictured yesterday morning.
Near The Point we did spot a solitary canoe heading along the 'New' river in the direction of the leisure centre but it was too distant to photograph.


The absence of people on the Millennium Green made possible this view of the Old River Ancholme, with tree-lined Cadney Road to the left.
Past years have seen some late Spring riverside festivals and a regatta or two held  in Brigg.
