Goathland and Whitby – it was another Grand September Day Out!
It was shaping up to be one of those lovely Autumn days as we gathered on Drummer Lane to await the arrival of our coaches for yet another Grand Day Out.
We a
rrived at Goathland as scheduled, and enjoyed morning coffee and a stroll through the village, passed “Adensfield” stores and garage and admired the old vehicles parked there.It was worth walking to the end of the village to explore the quaint station which had previously featured in a Harry Potter film!
Back on the coach, it wasn’t long before the ruins of the iconic Whitby Abbey appeared in the distance. On arrival, thoughts of fish and chips had most of us scurrying off for lunch. Whitby has so much to offer for everyone – sea, sand, boat trips, Abbey and Church (lots of steps), nice shops, coastal walks, liquid refreshments……… the only problem was deciding what to do next!
Once again a very enjoyable day for everyone. Many thanks to those who helped with publicity and money collection. Thanks also to Stott’s coaches and our excellent driver Malcolm Arthur.
