Of all the circular routes one could take in Britain, this 75 mile round trip today must take pride of place, especially at this time of year, with the hedgerows in their full glory.  Bizarrely accompanied today by his younger brother Norman riding Dad’s motorbike, the pair of them venture to Whitby, up to the Abbey and then later down the coast to Robin Hood’s Bay.  One couldn’t wish for a more attractive route, and Charlie, who was seeing it all for the very first time was obviously mightily impressed.  And who do you think turned up at Whitby Abbey when Charlie arrived – yes, his parents, accompanied by their friends.
