Scarborough; Friday, 21 October, 2011

Compared to yesterday it was a relatively early start as I needed to get to the station to catch a train before 10.

If yesterday had been heading North up the coast, today it was south as I purchased a ticket to explore the North Yorkshire coast down as far as the Humber.

First stop was Filey and a quick wander around town and along the beach, arriving in time to watch the odd sight of one of the small fishing boats being towed out of the sea and onto the slipway using a tractor.

From Filey I continued south to the resort town of Bridlington and had a look around there, before continuing my journey south to Beverley

After a look around the Market town and it’s Minster it was time to head south again, this time to Hull where I had the choice of a 40 minute change of trains or two hours to look round. However, as sunset was less than an hour away, I decided to leave Hull for another day and caught the train back towards York.

I was glad I did as I got some stunning views of the Humber estuary and the magnificent Humber crossing from the train.

By the time I got back to York it was late, but I decided the eating options were probably better here than in Scarborough (there is only so many fish and chip suppers you can stomach) so I grabbed dinner in a restaurant down by the river.

After dinner I headed back to the station and caught a latish train back to Scarborough and my hotel bed.
