2021 Lions Limited

 May 25th

The Birmingham gang have come up north again, so another opportunity to have a meet up and invent some nonsense with the crew.  A one day wonder so the EK troops not in range.  RL came up with a wonderplan so we were all set.


The day dawned well......


Arrived at Skelton all present and correct for an alfresco coffee and cakes, then set out on the mission, weather dictated plenty of fluidity in options, but a walk to the fish and chip fleshpots of Saltburn sounded good.



Early bearing check.  We are at position A.


Where is that then?


This option seemed too adventurous to ignore.....




Not surprisingly it was the wrong way....


Returned over the raging torrent and found our way to Saltburn.

We rented three of these for 20 minutes and scoffed fish and chips in the dry


Team Surf show their moves


Weather picking up, looks like stage 2 of the plan is GO!

AT confirms that there will be a bus back.  Offers a lame excuse about some past timetable mishaps.




The walk along the cliff top is exposed in places, leads to Cattersty Sands at Skinningrove.







A steep path lands everyone on the beach


Bus back to Skelton caught in good order.




An excellent meet blessed by the weather Gods, the chippie,  the on-time bus, and great company.
