Robin Hood's Bay to Whitby and back

A long walk (18 miles) along the coastal footpath, with a stop at Saltwick Bay for a jet hunt, and into Whitby, then returning along the coast before cutting up to the cinder track at Northcliffe caravan park.

Robin Hood's Bay at low tide. 

Spring has sprung: primroses, bluebells and wood anemones.

Bee-fly and the first wheatear of the year.

Whitby foghorn and the rocket field and post.
The post was used to launch a line and rope followed by Breeches buoy to stricken vessels at sea.   

Fantastic wave-cut platforms at low tide.....

Kittiwakes and squabbling fulmars.

Black Nab and the wreck of the trawler, Admiral Von Tromp, which was shipwrecked in fog in 1976.
Note this is two pictures - you can see the wreck at the bottom right of the top picture the lower picture is a close up.
