I spent last weekend wandering down the coast towards Whitby. My daughter had to do a "Day in the life of...." project for University, a strange project for a Games Programming degree, anyway she had wanted to do her parents. It is amazing how off putting it can be when you are taking shots to have someone else shooting you and asking you to "hold that pose"! We all had a bit of a laugh though and the weather was surprisingly nice. We wandered across to Cowbar, though Staithes and then onto Runswick Bay. It will be interesting to see what she comes up with.
As a boy, I lived in this area for a few years and have memories of days at the beaches and regattas, ice creams and summer time. Our large and extended family often played football matches with the scouts on Sunday afternoons.
This shot was at Runswick Bay in North Yorkshire. Its quite nice down there, hardly any shops, just one cafe and the road down the hill is about 1 in 2 I think - very steep, so make sure your brakes are in good working order!
The old white house was a coastguard cottage and seemed quite fitting for the scene, though situated as it is on the edge of one side of the bay it must get a severe lashing from the sea during winter.
The other side of the bay is quite idyllic, all sand, cliffs and is quite a nice walk.
