Biggar Ramblers annual weekend away saw them visit the beautiful Yorkshire town of Whitby, also known as the “dinosaur coast” due to the many fossils found there. The town is beautifully situated and has several interesting museums. On Thursday 29th Sept. they started with a guided walking tour of Whitby beginning at the top of the 199 steps.The guide thoroughly entertained them with stories of history and folklore. The following day they headed to the delightful fishing village of Staithes situated in a deep coastal creek by the Roxby Beck for a circular walk following the Cleveland Way along the cliff edge as far as Port Mulgrave before returning to Staithes. Next day there was a choice of 3 walks in the Robin Hood’s Bay area, 11 miles, 6 miles and 2.6 miles. On Sunday 2nd October the Ramblers sadly said goodbye to Whitby and returned home. The abiding memory will be beautiful scenery, steep hills and many many steps! www.biggarramblers.org
