1. Skydive Hibaldstow Hibaldstow
Parachuting, or skydiving, is a method of transiting from a high point to Earth with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent with the use of a parachute or parachutes. It may involve more or less free-falling which is a period when the parachute has not yet been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity. The first parachute jump in history was made by André-Jacques Garnerin, the inventor of the parachute, on 22 October 1797. Garnerin tested his contraption by leaping from a hydrogen balloon 3,200 feet above Paris. Garnerin's parachute bore little resemblance to today's parachutes, however, as it was not packed into any sort of container and did not feature a ripcord.

Goxhill Level Crossing

Monday July 23 2018 at 10.03. The 9.50 Barton-on-Humber to Cleethorpes (10.44) train. This is about 4 miles north of Ulceby LC with Thornton Abbey LC in-between. The sound of the train braking in the station can be heard 165 seconds after the gates close. That is too long. There is no need for people to be kept waiting for that long. I filmed all the crossings on this line four years ago except for this and one other because there were more crossings than trains. Until the Humber bridge opened in 1981 there was a ferry across the river and this line connected with that which made sense. Now it only connects with the south end of the Humber bridge although a surprising number of people were walking across it when I was there. Goxhill is a thriving village of 2,200 people with some shops as can be seen. On average only 18 people a day use the station though which is a very low proportion of the population. The reason probably is that the line simply doesn’t go to places that people want to travel to.
