Malcolm - what bugged me more than anything else is that when I had finally managed to find a part of Hull that I recognised (and knew the way to the marina from), then walked across town to the marina, there was no good reason for the road to be closed.
If they had put fairground rides, or market stalls on it, I could understand the closure. What we had was an empty dual carriageway with anti-cross barriers along the length of it. The only places you could cross were at the traffic light controlled pedestrian crossings, so as someone on foot you were in essentially no different situation than if the traffic was flowing normally and occasionally stopping for a red(traffic) light.
In other words - three hours wasted for no good reason.
Quack!
