Scarborough
Some final pictures of Scarborough, taken with the camera, possibly the last for a while as it’s time to visit other places.

Brompton

Yorkshire Moors
Just a drive over the moors.
Staithes, on the Yorkshire Coast
What a lovely village Staithes is. I first visited it decades ago and I remember it as cold and grey. But on this visit it was a glorious, sunny day.
There were children amongst the people on the breakwater wall (see image below) who eventually realised that their route back to the beach was cut off by the high tide and that they would have to wait for the sea to recede. Those crabbing on the short pier, however, were comparatively safe!
Runswick Bay, on the Yorkshire Coast
You will only get to discover the beauty of the village of Runswick Bay if you walk up through the narrow alleys between the houses. Keep going up and around and in the summer enjoy the abundance of flowers.

After a wet day in Hull, a final visit to Bridlington, a town that for so long has needed knocking down, and sadly still does. However there is an attractive South beach, and the Old Town is worth checking out, but even here there are signs of continuing decline.
