I am away in Whitby next week and will hopefully be posting pictures as they come (apparently the place I am staying in has wireless internet available

)

But just to avoid the 'I live near there......why didn't you let me know' type of comments........I'm telling you now

Hi Steve,

We were in Whitby last week. Its a fantastic place to visit........and an even better place to photograph !

Great view on a sunny day from the Captain Cook statue.

Nice gothic feel to it too coupled with its links to dracula.

One of my fave places full stop

I had heard that it was a very nice place to be. I have never been to the East coast of England before and was impressed when I saw an episode of 'Coast' on the TV. Can't wait to get away from it all for a week!!

Northumberland is somewhere else to check out too one day. Very rugged, dramatic and full of castles! Including of course Bamburgh on the coast...

Great photo of Bamburgh castle - brings back happy memories of my stay in the area. It is now the desktop background on my laptop

Robin Hoods Bay is worth a visit while you are that close some good photo opportunities there too

Have a good time

My favourite Whitby photo from last week.

Brilliant!

There is also a rock outcrop called The Nab which is close by which I want to go and have a look at. Just hoping for some decent weather!

Might be worth a trip to Bempton Cliffs if you are interested in birds

There are a few 'Nab's nearby. Saltwick Nab features in some of Joe Cornish's landscapes. I haven't visited his website lately but there's some fantastic stuff there (IMHO anyway). He lives in the North Yorks Moors National Park and takes a lot of images locally. You might find a few sources of inspiration if you can spare the time for a browse.
My own recommendation would be to head north up the coast a little to Runswick Bay & Staithes. Have a great week
