The following day, 22nd October, was a slightly easier seven mile walk from the hotel along the coast to Robin Hood's Bay, returning to Whitby on a very crowded bus. Before the walk, and before breakfast, an early morning rise showed some lovely light over the sands and the town as the sun rose....
Whitby - 22nd October 2006
Morning on the beach at Whitby
Early morning from the Pier
Whitby Abbey through the keyhole
Early morning - the beach is deserted and the sky is stormy
22nd September - The walk from Whitby to Robin Hood's Bay
From our Hotel - that's the direction to Robin Hood's Bay
The start of the second day's walk
Across the harbour
Climbing up the 199 steps to the Abbey - our hotel is on the West Cliff in the background
Coastline on the way to Robin Hood's Bay
Looking pretty flagged at the finish of our walk. The pub is actually the finish of the Coast to Coast Walk - we could probably have claimed our free drink!
