Up bright and early to set off on our Spring Tour. Left storage 0925hrs, headed for York. Problem free run with a fuel/natural break at Peterborough. Arrived York Caravan Park 1440hrs. Had prebooked so quickly checked in and pitched up.
We'd been here before, a lovely adults only site with 5* facilities. Didn't do much in the afternoon, after the long drive. Hazel did some of her miniatures for Teeny Weeny World,
I just lazed in front of the tv. Then an early night.
April 25th.
Caught the 10 o'clock bus into the city, £3 return for Hazel, me just my bus pass. Had a walk round the usual places. Lots still recovering from the winter floods. Went to the Railway Museum to see the "Flying Scotsman", sadly it was in the workshop, so this was as close as we got.
Never mind, another day. We were back on site 1600hrs. Dinner and a few drinks before bed.
April 26th.
Woke to snow falling. Packed up and the sun came out. Left site 1000hrs bound for Whitby. Nice drive across the North Yorkshire Moors. Hit by heavy snow at one point, but didn't last long. Stopped to admire the view.
Onward to Whitby arriving at 1140.
Parked on our pitch and just left everything while we walked to town. It was a gale force wind but luckily behind us. We took the cliff top path, halfway we were hit by a terrific hail storm, it was physically painful when it hit us. It didn't last thankfully and the sun returned.
Once down in the town we were mainly sheltered from the wind. Had a good look round, Hazel got some crafting bits, and we had coffee and toasties in a cafe. Couldn't find the pub I was recommended to visit. "The Boardwalk". After a couple of hours we were both suffering the cold, couldn't face walking back into the facing wind so we got a taxi, was a fiver well spent. Had dinner and checked maps for our next stop. Decided tomorrow would be Seahouses.
