Whitby? Is that not where all the vampire goths hang out?
I've not been to a beach in a while.
yeah it is
but not on a friday through the day.
just school children/old people.

i want to go, it looks stunning.

haha
WELL i was going to.
until my friend thought she wanted a subway.
and after a short deliberation i gave in to a flippin' sub.
in dis speak... FAIL.
i would have had chips! yum yum yum.
Whitby rules!
its so pretty well that bit is esspecialy hehe
i want to go when i come home.
is it easy to get to from leeds? i've never been.
we went on a school trip there once from leeds
COASTLINER....
.
Yeah pretty easy
A64 to Scarborough I'm sure even busses do that, then coastal road north to Whitby. you might even be able to get a train to Whitby. I dunno I have a car most the country isn;t to much hassel for me...
well look at me!
i don't have a car :( i think the train would be the best bet, i'll have to have a look nearer the time. but i wanna take my camera and build some sandcastles! oh and ice cream. mmm. i haven't seen the sea in a LONG time, except from an airplane.
heheh yep but its a skoda :-s
yeah the Yorkshire coast is very nice indeed. Whitby is the best place to most probibly, Scarborough is fun but a bit cheesey and tacky, Filey is full of old people, Whitby is just the right ballance. Lotsa little cool shops, fish & chips all over the place, ace views, vampire history, and a little beach.
.
I'm sure there's a train that goes from Leeds, theres definitely one from the boro, but thats no help.
I love Whitby also, used to spend weekends there as a kid, the fish and chips are amazing, walking up the 101 (or however many) steps to the church needs to be done, getting a lucky duck and some over priced fudge or something is another essential.
I <3 Whitby
It's so nice aint it and I live not to far away fom it. Did you get the classic Fish & Chips? There are so many good places for that there.
yeah
i live near york, and i see you do too.
north east coastline ftw.
Ah yes so you do
I live not to far from Pickering, Kirkbymoorside to be exact. Middle of knowhere.
still lovely though
nicer than anywhere south of york, selby way.
i.e my way.
heheh
yeah its ever so pretty round my way I'm very lucky.
Selby's not tobad like from my little knowledge.
I might bump into ya at Fibbers or The Dutchess hey...
my parents went there recently
and said they had the best fish and chips ever.

http://www.anstrutherfishbar.co.uk/
IVE BEEN THERE!

yeah kinda
along the coast a bit!
i've been there!
can't remember if it was nice. i'll take their word for it.
its pretty good
i dont eat 'quality fish and chips' that often so i dont know if its the best ever tho
also have you seen this
http://www.codonas.com/Pirate_Island_Webcam.html
its a webcam of scotlands premier crazy golf course
I went there and it was quality!
Fish and Chips and DiS tour of the East Coast I think....
Filey's better
as far as the NY coast goes.
But Whitby does have Lucky Ducks. I really want another one... I miss collecting them.
wow
lucky ducks sounds ace.
what are they?
From this shop in the town
http://www.whitbyluckyducks.com/
I'd be allowed to buy one every time we went when I was younger, I've collected dozens of them over the years.
they are really pretty
cool thanku :)
wow I like these lots.
I really like ducks
I acctualy wana know...
and have you been to Robbin Hoods Bay thats super pretty and quaint I love that place.
.
They're little glass ducks that have loads of different colours or coatings on/in them, you can get ones for you specific birth month and that lark.
Plus they're supposed to be lucky, hence the name. I used to have some as a kid and the shop is awesome cause you can watch the guy actually making them!
wicked :)
I've been to every single place
on the North Yorks coastline, I would have thought. RHB lots of times, it's lovely for sure.
I live
up near the moors near pickering its ever so pretty round there. I use to work for the North York Moors National Park too.
.
Nice, my family is all from around that area, its a nice place.
yeah man
I wish I could say the same about boro... :-P
I quite like some of it infact... kinda
.
Boro's amazing really, we just get too much undeserved bad press.
there is to much
abuse for it yeah your right. I have enjoyed the place every time I have been.
oh the moors
take me to the moors. build a shallow grave and just lay me down...-sorry for Smiths quote..have fond memories of Whitby.
I love Whitby so much
I went on a family holiday when I was 14, it was my favourite one ever. It was my idea, 'cause I'd read all the Robin Jarvis books, The Whitby Witches, they're amazing.
my friends girlfriend lives in whitby
it's an hour drive from here, so we're always there. it's quite nice.
I was there a couple of weeks ago
We went out on the Endeavour replica in the nice big waves had fish and chips and won a fiver hooking a duck in the amusements.
oh my god it's dalkin
hi dalkin!
I wasn't aware
my presence was in need of such a response.
But yes, hello Dicko.
