Whitby

It is intended that Whitby will be one of the first stops on our summer cruise next year. We have tried two times now to get there but each time the weather has stopped us in our tracks. Hopefully next summer we will make it. Whitby is one of the few places we intend to stay for a couple of nights as we know there is so much to see and do here. And of course we will have to go and get fish and chips. Rude not too.

 Yet another set of pier heads to aim for.

 Once through the pier heads the harbour opens up and you are greated with a pretty scene.

 The bridge that spans the river. At most states of tide Naughty-Cal will cruise straight through the bridge with no need to lift it.

 Whitby Marina right in the heart of the harbour.

 The ruins of the abbey looking over the sea and the harbour. Its a fair old climb up here but the views make it all worth while. The camera is going to be busy on this trip.

Whitby is built on the steeply sloping hillsides so a walk around the town isnt for the faint hearted.
