Before we left Flamborough area I drove the couple of miles to the headland where there are two lighthouses, the old and new. There is also a rock formation called the drinking dinosaur which really does look like one. 
Then up the coast to Filey which was very busy and we were only able to park high up on the country park car park so we were not able to try the famous fish and chips without hundreds of steps down the cliff. However Rosemary's tapas were just as good and we enjoyed an hour break in the sun.
Heading further north we bypassed Scarborough and settled for Whitby, getting into town late afternoon on the park and ride. It still has its oldy worldy character and has largely escaped the amusement arcade and ice cream parlour developments. We did not have time to visit the abbey ruins on the hill over looking the harbour but were able to fit in a generous portion of fresh fish bites in a bun. We also bought some very fresh prawns for another day.
Finally it was along the northern edge of the moors in the late afternoon sun to our overnight stop on the Tees, by the White Water Sports centre between Stockton on Tees and Middlesborough. Covid 19 has stopped all sports activity so the white water course is now green with weed.
