Newcastle to Staithes via Saltburn-by-the-Sea

After a lazy start, I got up for a run to clear my head and then back to Debbie and Richie's for some breakfast.

We stayed chatting before eventually getting ready and heading off for the next leg of our journey. We headed south through the Tyne Tunnel and after about an hour arrived at Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

We spent a couple of hours exploring, had a drink, and went on a little model miniature railway. Just as we were about to get the funicular railway back up to where we parked the car, it started to rain, and so rather than wait in the queue, we headed back up the steps.

Quick pit stop at the supermarket for some provisions and then on for the 25 minutes to Staithes, which is where we are staying for the next couple of nights.

After driving the car down into Staithes through the cobbled streets, we parked quickly to unload while we found our cottage tucked away in the back streets near the harbour. Having unloaded and then returned the car to the top car park, we went out exploring the tiny town nestled at the bottom of a cliff and then had a couple of pints at the Cod and Lobster pub.

We popped back home for a refresh and then we're back in the pub just after six for some food. I had a delicious salmon dish while Ed had the largest chicken parmo that he's had since we were in Australia.

After food we headed back to our cottage to relax and then an early night.Read more
