"What shall we call our caravan, Bob?" (His answer: "Caravan!")

Camp site was busy - end of half term - but we managed to squeeze in Saturday morning, enjoying the view before the shop opened
Here we are at Flower of May again - late arrival, Friday evening - handy for the rubbish Sign says "Access to Beach" - well, at least it's a fantastic view!
Setting off for a day's walking The walk was advertised on the Hayburn Wyke Inn website - an all day, 8+ mile walk
View out of the camp gates towards the Tabular Hills Here we are at the Hayburn Wyke Inn - my car parked against the rhododendrons
We came here two weeks ago - this time didn't go to the beach We got worried when everyone else was coming from the opposite direction!
Hayburn Beck before it turns into a waterfall (see geology page), and before our big climb! Still a long way to go - the views fantastic, and the cliffs very close
One chap said, "It's like walking in a park" - we wondered what the parks were like where he comes from! I think that's Blea Wyke down there, rocks uncovered at low tide
Resting on the stile to Staintondale - at top right is Hayburn Wyke, middle distance Filey Ooops!  It's a long way down!  Lots of landslip along this cliff
Faults either side of Peak Steel bring the sandstone to the surface here Baytown in the distance
This is the fault at Ravenscar - Peak Steel - and Robin Hood's Bay beyond Robin Hood's Bay from above Ravenscar golf course - dome structure visible in the Bay
At one side of the optimistically named "Station Square" Amazing walk, through cuttings and alongside deep gorges -
The station is somewhat overgrown - and still "Peak", before the Ravenscar Estate company changed the name in a spot of 19th Century spin - and we could walk along the line - - somewhat easier than walking along the Cleveland Way on the cliffs - this is Staintondale Station - but very pleased to reach Hayburn Wyke Inn again after some 9 miles!
It was a very hard clamber down to Cornelian Bay Very difficult to reach this place - yet there was someone sunbathing at the top!
Sunday - a shorter walk - this time to Cornelian Bay - this is the "other" side of Osgodby Point Looking back along the bay and the Cayton Bay fault to Scarborough from the top of the Point
Looking back to Cayton Bay and Osgodby Point - did we really climb over that? Good run back despite the "Truck Fest" holding us up near Driffield
A well deserved ice cream - another long hard climb uphill! Home again - what's that big black cloud doing?
