The campsite is at about 500 feet above sea level so it gets all the weather, usually at high speed. When we arrived it was blowing a gale which made pitching the tent somewhat entertaining. The site is very basic, toilets and running cold water only. But it is wonderfully peacefull and the views are amazing. From the bottom end of the site you look down over Whitby and at night, if it is clear, you can easily make out the lights on the swing bridge, the lighthouses on the piers (all four) and the light on the marker buoy out at sea. You could see all the way down to Hawsker and up beyond Sandsend and onto the moors.
The second night was much calmer and we got to experience some of the local wildlife. In the dusk there were bats out hunting. Overnight we heard foxes and owls out and about and in the morning were treated to some impressive acrobatic displays from the swallows.
Holly wanted Breakfast in bed!
