SANDSEND


THURSDAY 3RD

Ian went for a walk this morning after the mobile “Chips Away” fellow had finished repairing the few scratches to the car which happened the first day we had it when Ian reversing in a very tiny street.  Ian wanted to see another viaduct that we saw when we were on the train yesterday. 

When he came back we went off to Saltburn where we had lunch at a pub down by the water.  This is another of those coastal towns where the main centre is up above the cliff with very little down at the water.   We then drove back through Staithes where we couldn’t drive into the village but had to park at the top of the hill and walk down a steep hill to the bottom, not unlike Robin Hood Bay and then on to Runswick and then to Sandsend.  The weather was deteriorating rapidly and by the time we got to Sandsend the tide was in and the seas were rough and blowing up over the sea wall.  It started raining lightly however the wind continued. 

Tonight on the weather the forecast is for a bad night and up to 3 mm of rain and possible flooding.  Not sure if they really meant 3 mm however the rain is not very heavy, just cold.
