An afternoon walk around Robin Hoods Bay.

Ravenscar from Robin Hoods Bay

A cold wind and glowering skies kept us moving. Not weather for fossil hunting or stopping to admire the views very much.

We called into the Fossil Museum and the National Trust Old Coastguard Station Museum; had a slide about on the wave cut platforms; had an explore around the wonderful windy old streets and passages

Robin Hoods Bay, looking towards Ravenscar

and just made it back to the car five minutes before the heavens opened.

December

It's been a damp and mild sort of a month, a bit windy at times, a few frosts and chilly weather mid month, but mostly just damp and mild.
