Come and try your truck on these rocks. They really test it out. They are about four to six feet square.

Where Is That? Is It Between South And North Beaches At Scarborough?

Holy crap, I remember that place! On a school trip a couple years back we walked down the path in the second pic, and through those hills on the right. That was back when those defences were just a building site.

Yes. It is Scarborough. Between the rocks are large voids that you can fall into. They vary in depth but the deepest is about 8 feet at a guess.If you fall in your would struggle to get out. When the tide is in they are full of water. You drive your truck along the edges of the rocks and "hang" on the cambers. I was always frightend to take my truck onto them. However as I have gained more experience and understood my truck better, I now go there. I have only lost one rx pack and ripped of one glued tire so far. I have a bit of spare time tomorrow so I am going again in the morning.

Looks slightly dangerous.

How wide are these holes?

Would I stop at my gut or would even I keep going?

Can you get more pictures of these voids?

Does it put Staithes to shame?

Staithes is a lot safer. Some of the holes we would both be able to fall in. They are also a lot deeper. I am finding it to be a great place for experience though. It would be good for your truck though Ian as yours is more controllable at slow speed. I will get some pictures and post them here.

I am also looking for a good dictionary so I can understand what you are saying. Have you tried spell checker
