Robin Hoods Bay

Today I headed up the coast to one of my favourite place to take photos on the North Yorkshire coast, Robin Hoods Bay. When I got there I was amazed to find a parking space in the little car park at the top of the hill so I parked up and headed down the hill. The clouds were beginning to form so I knew the weather was about to take a turn for the worse so I took a few shots looking down into the town and sure enough the rain came. I went and found a cafe and had a sit down for a bit before trudging back up the hill, stopping several times to enjoy the view, not because I was out of breath you understand :)

I headed home to Beverley and on my way I stopped at Morrisons in Scarborough for some food shopping. As I got back to the car I noticed the rear tyre on the passenger side was almost flat, I knew I didn't have a "wheel-removal-tool-thingy" in the boot as I'd cleared out most of the boot the other day so I jumped in the car and slowly set off in search of a garage. I knew it was Sunday but I hoped against hope that I'd find somewhere. The first few I passed were all shut and I could hear the wheel making more of a noise so I knew I had to stop riding around on it soon. I was just about to ring a mate I knew who lived in Scarborough for some help when, like a light on the horizon, a Kwik-Fit appeared. I pulled in, as they were open, and the chap told me they'd have it done before 4pm! Great news! So I went off for a walk to kill the two hours before 4pm and eventually my car was fixed so I went on my way. Good old Kwik-Fit.

On the way home between Driffield and Beverley I had a very pretty young lady behind me in a Peugeot 306 and she was singing along to every song on the radio, she was really animated and so funny. Thank you, whoever you were, you really cheered me up!
