So its a Monday morning, normal routines are out of the window, we are going away walking (again) for the week. Our plan is to walk from Scarborough to Withernsea but the footpath is a bit sketchy on the map from Bridlington so ''boots on the ground'' lets go & see!
Our little stroll to our local Epsom Downs station to catch the 0808 is surprisingly uneventful, the sun is shining Its cold but we are forecast to have good weather, here's hoping.
An event on the train which for the class of school children on a trip with their stressed teachers was exiting, one boy sitting at a table with his three class mates was causing a commotion but he managed to get his mates into trouble & the teacher moved them so he was now at a table seat by himself!
At Victoria station then down onto the underground where its that usual crush on the tube to get to Kings cross & the LNER high speed East coast train line up to Scarborough.
A quick journey & we alight at Scarborough to bright sunshine & a cool breeze. We make our way back down to the beach front to the funicular railway where we finished on our previous trip. Strava set we are off for what should be a nice nine mile walk.
On our way we pass two more funicular railways Who knew Scarborough had three funicular railways all built by our courageous fellow Victorian ancestors.
Shortly before we arrive at Filey we are told there are some seals on the rocks below, Sure enough a pup with its mother can be seen the pup swimming around the rocks while its mother basks in the sun.
Arriving in Filey we veer off the path to stock up on supplies for the night picking up some chips & bits at the chippy, must say not the best chips a little soggy & a very dark colour but tasted ok.
Carrying on for the last few miles to our accommodation for the night we pass over the seems to be compulsory golf course on our walk. Arriving at Primrose holiday village & find our very clean with heating & hot & cold water (unlike a previous experience) six berth mobile home, it's pretty much on the path so happy days. A slight under estimation on the mileage as it comes in at 11.5
