Whitby & Saltburn

Bit of a slower day as we have been feeling a little bit flat (possibly a hangover from being unwell a couple of weeks back). So we visited the Whitby Abbey on the hill and made sure to sample a crab sandwich and smoked kippers before leaving.

We wanted to catch the funicular up the hill, but unfortunately it was under repair so we had to put our legs to work instead. The view was pretty cool, with flat farmland going right up to the 90 degree drop straight down into the North sea.

After we'd had enough wandering around, we made the short hop over to Newcastle and chilled out for the evening.Read more
