Hello Vectis - I hope your knee holds out. We describe Whitby as a town where everything is uphill from everything else. The camping area from 2000 had the dubious honor of being partway down the hill, but UP a different hill.
Dick and I and Joe Offer will be around somewhere. I will definately be at the ballad sessions. We will try to look in at the sites mentioned above, but with 50 things going on at once all over town, it is hard to say when we will be where. I have not seen the schedule yet (wasn't posted last I looked - is Dick's digital tradition session on the schedule?)
