Goathlands, Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay

Last weekend some of the students from the NSC course went on a field trip to see more of the county. We went to Goathlands, which is where the tv-series Heartbeat (Norwegian name; Med Hjartet På Rette Staden) was filmed. After a quick stop by the Heartbeat Garage, we travelled further on to our main destination of the day, Whitby. This is an old whaler's town, the birth place of Captain James Cook, and it also consists of places where parts of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula is put. Since I've read the book, I found it interesting to see the places described in the novel, especially the graveyard. All the sightseeing made us quite hungry, so we decided to try one of Whitby's specialities; Fish & Chips. Yummy! A little fatty compared to Norwegian food, but it really filled our stomachs. On the way back we made sure we passed Robin Hood's Bay, a place that has miraculously little to do with the hero from the books. It was a beautiful bay, with a cozy old town, and long, long beaches. A nice place to relax before we went home. I must say, I'm quite pleased with my first field trip this year, and I hope there will be some more. I added some photos, so you can see for yourself.
