At night the ships became a sparkle of lights in the dark, and when the weather was right the sunsets behind the Abbey were simply stunning.

I find it a great way of sightseeing and keeping fit at the same time. One day I followed a path up river and ran under the old railway viaduct which is now part of the Cinder Track that runs from Whitby to Scarborough. The path took me to the nearby village of Ruswarp where folks were queuing to get into the local butchers, the smell of bacon wafting out of the door spurred me on to get home for my own breakfast. There were so many things to see and do in and around Whitby, we were more than happy to stay still in our motorhome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_092812823_HDR-1024x459-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_092812823_HDR-1024x459-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_092812823_HDR-1024x459-1-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_092812823_HDR-1024x459-1-768x344.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_092812823_HDR-1024x459-1-705x316.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The old railway viaduct from below, a few kilometres later I was running over it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our time on the campsite was a real escape from the pandemic and constant news about it. The toilets and showers were closed, and you had to book the laundry, mask up to go into the shop or reception and there was hand sanitiser at each water and chemical loo point (which would be a great thing in normal times). However, because the pitches are distanced and folks generally stayed on their own pitch, there were no masks being worn around the vans, so you could sit in your motorhome and pretend everything was back to normal. A nice little break for my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200908_122555706_HDR-1024x547-1.jpg\" alt=\"face masks for sale\" class=\"wp-image-38621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200908_122555706_HDR-1024x547-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200908_122555706_HDR-1024x547-1-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200908_122555706_HDR-1024x547-1-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200908_122555706_HDR-1024x547-1-705x377.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The tourist shops have adapted quickly and now offer ranges of face masks as well as their normal holiday souvenirs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday the campsite filled up, and the town got much busier too. We decided to avoid going into the town for most of the weekend as some of the narrow cobbled streets got very busy. When we did venture in we&#8217;d use the &#8216;local steps&#8217; as we named them, avoiding the popular 199 steps route and the heavy breathing folks climbing them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200903_135858542_HDR-1024x473-1.jpg\" alt=\"whitby view from 199 steps\" class=\"wp-image-38615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200903_135858542_HDR-1024x473-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200903_135858542_HDR-1024x473-1-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200903_135858542_HDR-1024x473-1-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200903_135858542_HDR-1024x473-1-705x326.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>After a nip down the 199 steps into the town on Friday morning we decided to find other places to explore in the day time at the weekend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitby town council had clearly done a lot of work to make to make everyone feel safe. Hand sanitiser stations are dotted around the town, where a stomp on a button on the floor would fill your hands with enough of the stuff to sanitise a crowd. As well as signs telling people to keep socially distanced, a one way system is in place on the swing bridge &#8211; which did make you more likely to get run over than catch any virus, and on the weekend some roads (including the bridge) were closed to traffic to allow people to walk in the street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s all down to personal choice of course, but we still don&#8217;t feel comfortable enough to eat inside a restaurant yet. I ran past a decent sized queue outside Wetherspoons at 9am one morning, so we might be in the minority. That wasn&#8217;t a problem though as there are loads of benches dotted around the town, we&#8217;d buy tasty and beautiful looking treats from delis, eat numerous ice creams (my favourite flavour being the Raspberry Cheesecake) and indulge in fish supper takeaways all in the fresh air drinking in the views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_184802087_HDR-1024x473-1.jpg\" alt=\"coronavirus sign in whitby\" class=\"wp-image-38626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_184802087_HDR-1024x473-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_184802087_HDR-1024x473-1-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_184802087_HDR-1024x473-1-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_184802087_HDR-1024x473-1-705x326.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pirate Festival which should have taken place in the town at the weekend, had understandably been cancelled. However, you can&#8217;t stop pirates that easily, and several of them chose to form a pirate rebellion and visit anyway. I&#8217;m still getting used to seeing people with face masks walking around, so throw in a band of pirates and the town took on a new level of strangeness at times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200906_120034628-1024x676-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38619\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200906_120034628-1024x676-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200906_120034628-1024x676-1-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200906_120034628-1024x676-1-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200906_120034628-1024x676-1-705x465.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Shiver me timbers!

Having stayed in Staithes in the past and walked to Sandsend from the other direction, over the years we&#8217;ve now walked the Cleveland Way from north of Staithes to Ravenscar. There are still many more miles of the walk that we can do, and one day we might finish the whole thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200909_103655003-1024x635-1.jpg\" alt=\"walking along the beach from whitby to sandsend\" class=\"wp-image-38623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200909_103655003-1024x635-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200909_103655003-1024x635-1-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200909_103655003-1024x635-1-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200909_103655003-1024x635-1-705x437.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>You can&#8217;t beat a walk along the beach in the sunshine to bring a smile to your face<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On our last night we walked past the queues for the famous Magpie Cafe and headed to the Silver Street Fisheries (number two on TripAdvisor for fish and chips in Whitby), tucked away in a backstreet. We ordered a takeaway at one window, and waited across the road for them to shout our number before collecting our freshly cooked chippy teas from another window. All of their precautions made us feel very safe. As we waited a woman joined the queue in her pyjamas, dressing down and slippers, laughing and joking with the staff, it looks like we found the place where the locals come for their fish and chips. We took our piping hot cardboard boxed meals to one of the many benches on the West Cliff overlooking the Abbey and enjoyed a view over the town as we ate under the watchful eyes of a couple of seagulls.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_174411883_HDR-1024x523-1.jpg\" alt=\"silver street fisheries whitby\" class=\"wp-image-38617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_174411883_HDR-1024x523-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_174411883_HDR-1024x523-1-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_174411883_HDR-1024x523-1-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200904_174411883_HDR-1024x523-1-705x360.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Socially distanced queuing for our chippy tea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_181334719_HDR-1024x473-1.jpg\" alt=\"fish and chips in whitby\" class=\"wp-image-38625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_181334719_HDR-1024x473-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_181334719_HDR-1024x473-1-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_181334719_HDR-1024x473-1-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200910_181334719_HDR-1024x473-1-705x326.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll certainly return to Whitby and the surrounding areas as it is just such a lovely, relaxing place.

From the boat yard, building and lowering a ship into the water for the first time ever while I watched, to the tiny shop which smoked kippers, filling the street with the aroma of fires.
