im sorry you decided to only visit whitby folk week for a day. As you have just stated that you where already aware of the costs involved. So why did you if you didnt have the gumption to bring some food from home! Now i could direct to a few places where they sell cheap beer. But you are driving so what is the point. Yes yorkshire water have as you already must have been aware have made whitby a on go area as far as swimming goes. So yes its raining you cant leave the kids on the beach why did you come in the first place? Well im off to walk up the 199 steps to the abbey for free! Do you know im sure they put in extra steps every year. What a view and its free!
