Yesterday (Saturday) Angus and Arran were both not working, first time in well over two months so decided to have a day out at Whitby. We thought it would be quieter with the summer holidays finished and kids back at school but as ever it was still busy'ish. With being right on the coast the wind was trying its very best to keep the rain, drizzle, fog, and mist away. We have not been down for a while and the town has picked up with loads of new shops only leaving a few empty units. It was baltic on the pier / beach but there was a few in the sea! We also had a walk up the steps and took 10 at the top. We had our dinner from the Quayside fish n chippy followed by chucking a few quid away at the arcades. The weather driving home was dreadful, thick fog and lashing rain.
Today (Sunday) we had a drive over to Red Row Estate (back of Beamish Hall way) for the Great North Classic Car Show, it opened at 10am and was tenner each to get in. They said was going to be 450-500 cars but looking around the fields it was well short of that number. The bottom field was not even half full. The Car Barn and Aston Workshops opened up there doors for the day and was great to see what they had for sale, some of the asking prices were eye watering to say the least. The highlight of the day was the ice cream van! the whippy ice cream was lovely and not a rip off for a change. There was loads of different places to eat and drink. There was not alot of public there. This could have been due to an update they put on their Facebook page about poor grass / possible muddy conditions, yes the grass was damp in places but was solid underneath.
