Subject: RE: Whitby Folk Boat Staithes Trip
Following my post of May 23rd I see the WCC website is still being updated, and no map showing yet so here is a link to a Google map. If you zoom into the harbour area just above the bridge you can see a little wiggle in the road just below where it says "The Dracula Experience", that is where you are heading.

Right now the bridge is broken in the "open to river traffic, but not to vehicles or pedestrians" position, and has been so for 5 days. We have no indication when repairs will be completed, but Folk Week plus Regatta without a bridge is too horrid to be contemplated.

So good thoughts please for the engineers, I'll advise further developments as they occur.
