Day 1
We go to Whitby a lot but have never gone in the camper so we thought we'd try a campsite. It certainly paid off as the weather was fantastic. We arrived after work in glorious sunshine to the holiday park - it was rather like Hi-De-Hi with the man who sorted out our pitch looking like he was still in the 70s. After a brief chat about his hatred of marriage (I'm not kidding) we went to our pitch, it was at s steep angle and the chocks were not going to help so he kindly allowed us to move. We then sat in glorious sunshine enjoying the view of the coast.
Day 2
We decided to make the most of the fantastic weather by heading into Whitby early. The campsite is in a great position, 15 minute walk along the Coastal path to the Abbey. We had a leisurely breakfast at the Hatless Heron and an explore of the Old Town before hiring a couple of deck chairs and spending the afternoon on the beach. Late afternoon we then headed to or favourite restaurant - The Magpie Cafe. We always end up with fish and chips but the rule this time was nothing fried. I had an amazing trio of sea bass, salmon and scallops and Matt had monkfish, we then had pudding and I had a trio of rhubarb which was equally delicious. We then headed back in the evening sun and enjoyed sitting outside the van. However the most hilarious point of the trip was late that night at the campsite when 2 people decided to have an argument about their divorce outside our van. The campsite was great but it was something out of a sitcom with bingo and family club. That aside though it's great for a weekend and if you pay a little extra for a sea view you are away from the bingo anyway!
We set off early on the Sunday for a scenic drive back via Scarborough. Perfect end to a great weekend
