I drove to Whitby for a day and decided to go through the Moors on the way. The moors were a little disappointing because the heather wasn't in bloom (late this summer). So it had lots of brown bushes to see but did have some interesting large craters; such as Horcum's Dyke.

Whitby on the other hand was beautiful with lots of character. It is known for "jet" which they turn into jewelery (black fossilized remains of decaying wood). Lots of shopping of course and they are well know for their fish and chips. I had the cod fish which was very nice as it didn't have a strong "fish" taste. It was also goth weekend so we had some interesting sights (people) to watch.
The Whitby Abbey was awesome with some views over the harbor. Too bad they don't want a power plant built there.

Some of the last pics you see is of the "Mexican" food we ate on the way back in Hull. Everything was ok except the salsa was like tomato paste.
