Had a run out today to check over a new location.

Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast, just north of Whitby.

There's two breakwaters, and to the south the skeers look good.

I think the main breakwater rocks are too big for TLT trucks, unless there was some carefull route choices. Some of the gaps are rather large and you could possibly loose a Clod sized truck. If you were to run on the main skeers there could be some good ground for the scale trucks, even some for the Clod sized.

Anyway a few pictures to get some idea. If anyone wants to meet up then end a PM or post on here and we can get something arranged.

Nice one James, look forward to it.

The only problem with this site is that the village, as with most along this coast, is at the bottom of a rather steep hill. There's no parking in the village either, though there is a large car park at the top.

Needless to say it's not really fat man friendly.

Nearly had a heart attack by the time I got to the top.

Did you manage to get a vid?

Hopefully next time we meet i will be running mashers

Regards

No, just went to check the spot out. Never ran the crawler.

You got an awesome spot right there, coastal defences are by far the best crawl spots. 186 miles is a bit much for me, though.

Moondust1950 · 12-12-2006, 10:40 AM

186 miles is far for my dad but we may still be driving down there

steanlol · 12-14-2006, 01:32 PM

Looks a nice place for a sunny day crawling , wouldn't mind popping up there when the better weather comes round , may cost me a bit in the V8 tho .

Moondust1950 · 12-14-2006, 01:42 PM

We probally will get a good full day there is a pub there aswell

drzjohn · 12-14-2006, 02:26 PM

I,m planning on taking our caravan to whitby next year for a week,maybe we could meet? or if you organise some thing earlier I could come for the day(@2.5 hours to whitby from here) We had a week in scarborough in august and my tlt was in the car all week,I had a little play on the rocks at north beach but gave up cos the gaps in the rocks would swallow a tlt up for ever!! lets try to organise some thing for the new year? JOHN.

Moondust1950 · 12-14-2006, 03:19 PM

When you went to scarborough to the north beach did you got to a ice cream kiosk next to a bar called little jack bar?

We could definately meet. if you ome as my grandad lives in scarborough

drzjohn · 12-15-2006, 12:12 AM

We actually went to McDonalds, We parked along the first bit of the long road between the north and south beach,We had to cut it short and go back to the caravan cos my2 year old daughter went face first(fully clothed) into the sea!!!!!!!!!!

Regards JOHN.

Moondust1950 · 12-15-2006, 03:32 AM

lol.

Yeah well i live about Twenty minutes from scarborough.

I live in a village called Hunmanby. Near Filey.

Me and my Dad go to a place called Filey Brigg it is about a 5 minute walk from where we park the car.

But we have just bought like a pull along trailer because it is a long walk from the car park. And starts to hurt your arms if you are carrying your rig.
