<p>H and I booked a week away in Whitby. It was a small fisherman's cottage 5 minutes away from the harbour and it has a dedicated parking spot.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On the way there we stopped off on Beverley and did a tour of the town and minster.</p>

<p>The first couple of days were very windy so our walks down to the harbour were quite breezy with waves crashing over the harbour walls.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It was great to be out and about without worrying about jobs to be done in the house or garden.</p>

<p>Whitby being famous for its fish &amp; chips we just had to test it out. We managed to get into the renown Magpie Café and they were so good we made a second visit later in the week.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Our night time saunters around the town also allowed me to take some photos which was very convenient as the photography group theme this month is night photography.</p>

<p>We visited Staithes on the Monday of the Queen's funeral in an attempt to get away from the monarchic nonsense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are a number of delightful fishing villages along this coast and it was wonderful to spend some time in this quiet place.</p>

<p>A day on North York Moors Railway with a steam train at the front of the carriages was great. We spent 3 hours in Pickering having lunch and visiting Pickering Castle where we were persuaded to join English Heritage. The argument was we would reap the cost of membership when we visited Whitby Abbey and Rievaulx Abbey in the next few days.</p>

<p>With the weather being so bright we drove to Robin Hood's Bay, donned our walking boots and set off for Boggle Hole along the cliff top. After lunch at the YHA café we headed onwards to Ravenscar. Plenty of ups and downs. We decided to walk back along the old railway track to RHB however it was a little further than I remembered and we cut it short by walking along a road to Boggle Hole and then along the beach and up to the car. By the end of the day we had walked over 11 miles.</p>
