Falling Foss is accessible via a path just past the tea room at Midge Hall or from Little Beck if you fancy a longer walk. If unsure which path to take - just ask in the tearoom. One word of caution - the view of the falls from the path is actually much clearer in winter - in summer it is partially obscured by foliage as it is surrounded by trees. If you are fit and a competent climber - you can get down to the base of the falls - but personally I have never felt like risking t with the camera gear.


As for places to go and see - there are so many and it depends what your tastes are. The obvious ones would include Robin Hoods Bay (better when the tide is out), Staithes (better when the tide is in), Sandsend - best when there is heavy sea (from a photography view point).


There are no events in Whitby itself during the week you are going but there are a couple in the area.

Firstly you have the NYMR classic car weekend in Pickering on the 14th and 15th - well worth a look if you like vintage cars and steam trains and you could even visit it by steam train from Whitby:

Or if you fancy photographing sail boats - the Filey Regatta is on the same days:

Have fun!

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more
