Editing Humber (section)

===Foot===
Graham Boanas, a Hull man, is believed to be the first man to succeed in wading across the Humber since [[Roman Britain|ancient Roman]] times. The feat in August 2005 was attempted to raise cash and awareness for the medical research charity, [[DebRA]]. He started his trek on the north bank at [[Brough, East Riding of Yorkshire|Brough]]; four hours later, he emerged on the south bank at [[Whitton, North Lincolnshire|Whitton]]. He is {{convert|6|ft|9|in|m|2}} tall and took advantage of a very low tide.<ref>
