Had a run out four a couple of hours this afternoon to check out a new location on the coast.

I have crawled lower down the coast not far from here and have seen it but never checked it over.

I believe I have found my crawling nirvana.

Approximately 3 miles of near uninterupted crawlable rock.

It's only about three quarters of an hours drive away as well.

Overall pictures for the jealous.

Some close up shots of the terrain

If after the January meet, which I'll try and get to, anyone wants to meet here, post here or PM closer to the time you want to meet

Moondust1950 · 12-17-2006, 12:49 PM

WOW

IAN... that has to be the best place yet.

Me and my DAd will probally be able to make it if you can

Moondust1950 · 12-17-2006, 12:52 PM

IAn what is the name of this spot?

Just spoke with my dad he asked where it was.

wallaz · 12-17-2006, 01:17 PM

Sorry, it's called Craster.

Where the kippers come from

Tronk · 12-17-2006, 01:26 PM

Well Ian that looks a good spot.

Unfortunately I dont think we will get to that one. It takes me two hours to get to Hartlepool from Hunmanby. Looks like Caster is a bit to far out.

Moondust1950 · 12-17-2006, 01:32 PM

Perhaps we could get Staithes on the North Yorkshire coast one?

4link4eva · 12-17-2006, 01:40 PM

You can't see me, but I'm turning green. It would have to be 255 miles from me, wouldn't it?

Moondust1950 · 12-17-2006, 01:41 PM

More than that

steanlol · 12-17-2006, 02:26 PM

Looks like it could be a good day out , any cheap b an b's in that area ?? might cost me an arm and a leg in the V8 but it looks like it could be worth the trip .

wallaz · 12-17-2006, 03:22 PM

Steanlol,

There's probably quite a few b and b's close by.
It's part of the Northumberland coastal route and pulls a few visitors in.
Have you got gas on the V8? I know it's really the only way I can run mine.

Tronk,

Seems a bit long to get to Hartlepool. Can't remember how long it took to get to Filey from Newcastle. Remember making the mistake of heading over the Sutton Bank road. It takes ages to get to the motorway, would probably be quicker going up the coast.

If anyone can make it brilliant, if not, well, I'll have to play with myself again

steanlol · 12-17-2006, 03:38 PM

No gas just good old green stuff by the gallon , lol
will curb my spending for a bit and save for some green shields .

Tronk · 12-18-2006, 01:27 AM

Good Day Wallaz.

Regarding Hartlepool. I built a food factory on Brenda Road a year ago. I used to go via Whitby and I also used to go via Thirsk and the A19. The best I did it in was 1 hour and fifty minutes.

Must have took me longer than i thought to get to Filey that time i called down.

It's a shame we couldn't find something like this somewhere in the middle of us.

Tronk · 12-21-2006, 12:53 PM

Hi Wallaz.

There must be somewhere. If you want to meet at Whitby for something to eat, we could then have a tootle about to see what we can find for the afternoon. Let me know what you think

wallaz · 12-22-2006, 05:28 AM

How about a meet at Staithes.

Not sure if James's knee could put up with the bank though.

You could drive him down and then drop him and the gear off and then park car at the top in the car park. Then afterwards drive down and pick him up?

Will have to check tide tables for best dates.

I know low tide this weekend is around luch time, so it'll be getting later next week. If the seas is flat calm it may not make much difference if tide is in?

Let's know what you think.

Moondust1950 · 12-22-2006, 06:04 AM

I am back at the hospital a couple of days after new years.

I should be ok to go down the bank by then as i am making good progress with it.

Regards

james

Tronk · 12-22-2006, 09:02 AM

Hi Wallaz.

Staithes if fine. I am able to go when ever you wish. Any time after boxing day is fine.

Here is a link for Whitby tide tables.

We can go in the Cod and Lobster for something to eat. My treat

wallaz · 12-22-2006, 12:29 PM

How about 27th or 28th??

Tronk · 12-22-2006, 12:40 PM

Either of those is ok. Which ever suits you the best. You just tell me a time and we will be there. [Yes James, I did say we].
I am not sure what crystals are in my truck. I will look tomorrow and let you know.
If James cannot manage the hill he will have to wait in the car whilst we go play.
