My Dad

by Mandy
(Kettering, Northants)

Spent all my childhood on Filey Brigg, either searching for soft back crabs or fishing with my dad.

I remember when the little green hut sat at the base of the cliffs right at the very end over looking the Brigg, the one time I was allowed pop and my dad had hot steaming tea!!

I could write for hours about the place and things that happened there, the most significant to me now though is my dads ashes are scattered from the cliff tops , on a howling wet afternoon 10 years ago he took off into the wind and over the sea, was a fantastic day and just what he would have wanted.

So next time you are walking the cliffs in Filey say "hello to Nick!"

Thanks for this site it is brilliant and I have recommended it to many.

Hello Mandy

Aw, thanks for your kind comments about my site :o) and for the recommendations too! :o)

Sounds like you have some lovely family memories of holidays in Filey - that's what really makes a place special, don't you think?

How lovely that your Dad got to rest in that special place that means so much to him and your family - I will definitely say a hello to Nick next time I'm there!

Thanks so much for sharing your special memories Mandy.

Hope you will create many more happy memories of the Yorkshire coast in years to come.

Best wishes

Filey Brigg.
by: kev

like mandy i can remember the little green hut at the end of the brigg,it now seems half the size it was in the 60s, but just as fantastic...

Stayed at the caravan site on the park at the brigg at the end of last year, weather not too good but still enjoyed it.

Once you have been its like a magnet, it keeps drawing you to it.

will be there again this year, not too far from york.
