One of the best legacies of City of Culture is the street art scattered around Hull. There are murals and installations all over the place but unless you know where to look you'll walk right past most of them. The fish mural on Humber Street is probably the most photographed one. It's massive...

I cycle everywhere and Hull is great for it as long as you pick your routes carefully. Avoid the main roads during rush hour and use the back streets and cycle paths instead. The route along the river from the university area into the city centre is mostly off road and it's pleasant. There's a...

I actually think the Championship is harder to watch as a fan because you can never relax. In the Premier League most of the big teams are pretty much safe by Christmas. In the Championship you could be in the playoffs one week and in the bottom half the next. It's exhausting. But yeah...

If you want proper fishing try the Holderness coast. Withernsea and Tunstall are both decent spots for cod in winter. You need to time it right with the tides but on a good night you can pull out some proper sized fish. I go about once a month and it's the most peaceful thing I do. No phone...

The coast being twenty minutes away is massively underrated for families. On a sunny Saturday morning we can be on Hornsea beach before most people have finished breakfast. The Wolds are even closer for countryside walks. And then you've got all the museums, East Park, the Deep, Beverley as a...

Watching Clarke in full flow is genuinely one of the best things about going to games this season. That left foot is ridiculous. The way he can whip a cross in at full speed without breaking stride is Premier League quality all day long. I said to my mate after the Bristol City game that he's...

The one at Beverley Racecourse is probably the best around here. Massive site, loads of stalls, and a real mix of stuff from genuine antiques to complete tat. Gets going early though so you need to be there for about seven if you want first pick. The breakfast van does a cracking bacon roll too...

East Park is brilliant for dogs but sometimes you want a change of scenery. Here are some alternatives that our two spaniels love. Pickering Park in west Hull is underrated. Decent size, nice paths around the lake, and it's never as busy as East Park so your dog can actually run around without...

This is mainly for away fans who might find this forum but also for anyone who hasn't done it before. The walk from Hull Paragon station to the MKM Stadium is about 25 minutes and it's actually a really nice way to build up to the game. Come out of the station and head down Anlaby Road. You'll...

Set my alarm for five thirty on Saturday and drove down to the Humber Bridge to watch the sunrise. Honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in Hull and it cost absolutely nothing. Got there about ten minutes before sunrise and walked halfway across from the Hull side. There was...

Most people head west towards the Wolds for walks but the Holderness coast to the east is brilliant too and it's even closer to Hull. Spurn Point is the obvious one. That long narrow spit sticking out into the Humber is unlike anywhere else in England. The walk out to the lighthouse takes a...

Just finished walking the Wolds Way last weekend. Started from Hessle and did it over four days all the way to Filey. Absolutely knackered but what an experience. If you live in Hull and you haven't explored the Wolds you're missing out. It's right on our doorstep and the scenery is gorgeous...
