Visits to the Scarborough area

In 2017 I entered the LDWA North Yorks Moors 100 mile endurance walking event. This is an annual event which takes place in a different area every year. I have started it 25 times and completed it 16 times. This year I withdrew for medical reasons (probably getting too old). I fell in love with the Scarborough and Whitby area and intend to take short breaks there often. Here are my initial photos.
