Flowers around the Youth Hostel

Walk on the beach back to Robin Hoods Bay

Rocks and stormy weather

Big Stomy sea. Boarding from the scaffolding attached to Beacholme washed up several 100 meters down the beach

People getting their feet wet

Toy Town

Out and about in Whitby

Birds, Wrecks and Silhouettes

New Kitchen and Living Room

WooHoo!
After much planning we now have completed the work started in November to refit both the Kitchen and the living room.

New Year Power Madness

As per usual at this time of year the electricity fails in the bay causing much chitter chatter and pub attendance. The cause of the outage was the junction box hanging between the telegraph poles which caught fire.
The festive scene of Christmas tree, candles and a real fire

Lots of snow

Sea Rescue

Rescue crews try in vain to locate the pilot
The Plane is located under water and marked with a flare
Sea King hellicopters search the coastline

Indian Summer

Fisheye view of the quater deck and Ravenscar

Blue sky and sea

A slick of honey on the beach caused a swarm of bees to gather on the sand. The honey was soon cleaned up by some bears on loan from a circus.

Kinderland Scarborough

Very close to the excellent Peasholm Park in Scarborough is "soon to be" re developed Kinderland. The place has a certain appeal to me even though I did not visit in its heyday. Nature has a way of asserting itself in these situations.....

Stormy seas and clear skys

From the top of Ravenscar it was possible to sea Filey Brigg and further to the left Flamborough Head
A spring tide combined with a turbulant sea lead to some impressive waves. The battery on my camera went dead after I captured this one but I can promise you that all the people in picture received a good soaking.

More June Sunshine

I tried smoking the seagulls off the roof but it did not work.
There is a new sign for the donkey rides on the beach. I noticed that I made guest appearance in the background of the photo in the bottom left :o)

20C and the sea was still cold

A Cold March Day

Not much to report except the cold weather. However the lowest tides of the year exposed large expanses of the beach which was nice to explore!

Lovely spring day

A quick walk on the beach
A view of Robin Hoods Bay from Ravenscar
Nervous seals. I was more nervous though.

Snow and gales

Snow on the back yard. A Power cut added to the excitement and drama.
Snow on the roof tops with high winds. We could really hear the tiles moving on the roof and then the next day we found out they were :-
The next day with snow on Ravenscar

Walk along the beach

New rock fall

There is iron in them rocks!
View from Raven Hall across the bay

New Years Eve

Scarborough Sealife. If you want to see this attraction without the crowds my advice is to visit on New Years Eve ;-). There is some good stuff here that both my 1 year old daughter and a friends 5 year old enjoyed
Hayburn Wike once again.

Woodland and winter sky.

A cold December day

Hunting for bait in the sand
The wreck of the Sarb-J. The coastline north of this point is desolate and bleak

Baby seals and Starfish

Wild life at Ravenscar

Big waves with the Autumn tides

A selection of shots from last weekends high tides. The coastguard station got a beating although they never seem to shut the storm shutters anymore.

August Holidays

Hayburn Wyke on a different day. As you can see the quantity of water is much decreased from the storm surge we saw in June.

Pantile roof tops in Robin Hoods Bay. Both of these pictures were taken with a 70-300mm lens. The first from the coastal path heading south and the second from the coastal path heading north at Bay Ness.

The baby seagulls have almost flown the nests and the rooftops will return to peace and quiet for a while. This gull liked to wake us up at 4 o'clock every morning - much like our 7 month old daughter.

Water, Water everywhere

On a coastal walk from Scarborough to Robin Hoods Bay we were caught up in a few thunderstorms and then managed to reach Hayburn Wyke as the Hayburn Beck was in full flow. The brown water from the beck had stained the sea.

A closer view of Hayburn Beck as it falls into Hayburn Wike with video too!

Fun with a 10mm lens and a polarising filter.

Fun with a 10mm lens and a polarising filter – no really! It is almost impossible to take a less than average picture with a wide angle lens at Robin Hoods Bay. There is stuff everywhere!

Easter weekend

A regular bank holiday outside the bay hotel






Dog in the mist






A Mini adventure

Seals - Goo goo g' joob

errr Sorry, my mistake that was the Walrus.

About 50 or so Ravenscar Seals basking in the sunshine. Here are a few pictures of the more good looking ones - all together now - ahhhhh!

Trainspotting

There is one. Didnt get the number tho :-(

A question of scale

The residents of the Robin Hoods Bay model village go about their business.

Sunrise

I am always amazed bythe sunrises in Robin Hoods Bay. This sunrise photographed this morning after I was rudely awoken by my three week old daughter is a good example.



The unusually warm weather enabled the wearing of a t shirt for most of the day and so I am beginning to wonder whether GCH is needed with all this Global warming. Maybe it is nature's way of sorting everything out.



The Rainbow in this picture ended in the the Bay Hotel bar. On investigation the pot of gold had been replaced with scampi in a basket and 4 pints of Deuchars.

Burton House

Burton House is a new holiday let for the lower bay area of Robin Hoods Bay. We are taking lets from March onwards hopefully after the installation of a new central heating system which should make the place as cosy as anything. Due to the property's location on the sea wall the GCH is needed believe me !!
