Pincer movement

Returning walkers along the cliff path are rewarded with this view of Whitby pier extensions jutting out into the North Sea, with Sandsend Nab in the distance. 

Sunup or sundown?

Answers on a postcard, please. Thanks again to Martin Ashburner for another shot of one of his favourite views, Sandsend Nab from Whitby.

When two walk together …

Sandsend Nab from Whitby

Thanks to Martin Ashburner who sent this and a few other recent pictures of Whitby, a surprise for CDPers who have not already deleted this blog from their lists.

Snowy moors

There is a lot more snow on the hills at the moment than in this picture, but this one nevertheless gives an idea of the situation of the town from the other direction, showing why it is so easily cut off in bad weather. We have already looked up the coast towards Sandsend Nab, the section of headland jutting out into the sea where, not surprisingly,  the sands end.

I mentioned the marina yesterday: it is clearly visible here, just below centre left, viewed from St Mary's church yard, just after the top of the 199 steps. If you've been following these pictures, you'll know that the cobbled Donkey Path is just over the wall.
