A long walk through the woods to find this! The beach is hard going - big round stonesJanuary 07, after the rains - a lot more water!
May 2004 - went to Hayburn Wyke, the stream has cut through to reveal older rocks at the beach  Waterfall at Hayburn Wyke (summer and winter views) - Saltwick Formation revealed at beach level
Ripples in bed mid-picture Fantastic view from the Cleveland Way
Close up of strata above waterfall, sedimentary structures visible (below - Sept 04) Hayburn Wyke from the cliffs to the south
Fallen blocks with sedimentary structures Plant fossil material at Hayburn Wyke
Bob inspects the ripple beds Lots of plant material!
Rock outcrop exposed further down the beach Second outcrop - sandstones and siltstones - plant material seemed to be higher up
A lot of the geology was hidden by the undergrowth Cross bedded sandstones on the beach
Thin line of "coal" visible in higher up beds Sedimentary structures in fallen blocks
Bob for scale! To the north of Hayburn Wyke waterfall
Bioturbation on the top of the sandstone beds

Below - Burniston Bay

 Beds near the waterfall "sag"

 
Looking towards Scarborough from Burniston Bay Looking northwards
Spring Bank Holiday 2003 - Burniston Bay Looking towards Long Nab
Actual size - approx 30 cm by 50 cm Another view towards Long Nab
There is a lot of fossilised plant material Cross bedding in sandstones near top
Lots of crumbly silty layers below the overhanging sandstones Hundale Point
Siltstones and sandstones, Burniston Bay (more pictures - March 2006) View from Cloughton Wyke - dipping strata 
Sandstones above silty shales Another view of the same formation
The difficult scramble on the rocks was worth it for the view of these strata Looking north-west - non-marine sandstones of Gristhorpe member above shales
I got quite attached to this formation! Close up view of shale beds
Tide was in, so only view was from the rocks Sideritic nodule in shale of Cloughton Wyke Plant bed
Cloughton Wyke, looking south This is a view of Cloughton Wyke from the Cleveland Way - May 2004

(Below) Trip to Scalby via Scarborough, 2003
The open topped bus was waiting at the traffic lights in Marine Drive - Castle Hill - a different viewpoint!
May 2003 - Scarborough Castle Hill, Upper Jurassic calcareous grit with limestone above  Looking from Scalby Ness to Castle Hill - fault to the right of the castle
Did we really walk all this way? View from Scalby Ness
Scalby Bay - first, find a way down! Sea cut at Scalby Ness
Scalby Bay - well worth it when we managed to get down! About 30 cm long
Cross bedding in massive sandstones Dinosaur footprint
Scalby Bay - rocks going in all directions! More cross bedding
Meander channels dipped in a variety of directions Looking south east
Giant footprints Cloughton Wyke
Dinosaur footprints, heading north west Another look at the stratigraphic sequence at Cloughton Wyke
