Foggy and raining for our drive over from York but a short trip. Arrived lunchtime. Walked across the golf course to the Promenade then on to the beach to Whitby harbour a coffee in town then back along the prom. Got a lot wet but a shower warmed us both up. 9 years since we have been here our first campsite in a motorhome! Not a good day for pictures!

Rain, rain and more rain. Drove to Park and Ride and caught bus into city. Visited the Chocolate Experience, pretty poor after the one in Tournon sur Rhone (Valrhona). No free samples!!! Good walk around in the Shambles. On return to the Park and Ride had a wander around the Monks Cross shopping.
Wednesday, last day here, even more rain. Managed to get out lunchtime – a boat would have come in handy. Visited Monks Cross again.
