On to Scarborough

We weren’t expecting such a high profile welcoming committee for our arrival in Scarborough. We soon realised that it was Armed Services day and that the welcome was not for us. The following week there were a few Danish Schools’ bands. Here is one of them.
We stayed at the Camping and Caravan Club Site just to the north of Scarborough. It is a huge site with lots of facilities. The bus stop was nearby so trips into Scarborough were easy.

We had made arrangements to meet up with Jean and Paul, friends from college days. It was lovely to see them and catch up on many years of news.

Close to the caravan site was the start of ‘The Cinder Track’ bike trail on the old railway line Scarborough to Whitby.
