Absolutely glorious day: the wind had dropped, the clouds were gone &, at times, it was distinctly warm!
Trying out quite an elaborate geocaching multi-trail around Robin Hood's Bay, Fylingdales & the surrounding cliffs - one of several such 'Smugglers' trails in the area. Collected good answers to all the clues except a couple which required us to count 'steps' in Bay Town itself.... OK, which steps!??
Thoroughly enjoyed the day & walked to some new places... but didn't find the treasure! I think you probably need to be visiting for a bit longer to try out different possibilities for the co-ordinates!
Did 'crack' one geocaching multi-trail in Robin Hood's Bay - the one from St.Stephen's Church!
This was the 'new' St.Stephen's as opposed to the 'old', where we spent about 40 minutes searching for the grave of a sailor who'd drowned in Yarmouth!
Been to Robin Hood's Bay on countless occasions but the most auspicious visit, I think, was with the entire family at the end of 2003's Coast-to-Coast jaunt!
Now that's just the kind of day that it was!
Looking south towards Ravenscar from the sea-wall at Robin Hood's Bay
Thought I'd been to all the pubs here but No! 3rd 'new' pub of the year!
We had, however, already had lunch at our old favourite, 'The Bay Hotel'!
Enjoyed a very good seafood lasagne while Les, perhaps predictably, opted for fish & chips!
Back up the cliffs to walk off lunch!
Who cared that we'd actually 'collected' only 2 geocaches?!
.... just the kind of day that it was!
