When you look at this hill, at first you have no idea just how far the thing goes down there!! You certainly know about it on your return! PHEW!!

Happy Snapper UK-it was ;>) I felt my age at the top Bob!!

a3a35919, The good thing about this village is that traffic is not allowed in there, unless you are a resident, or on holiday, on business or on delivery!! So no bikes I'm afraid Danny ;>)

top spotter-Yep, it will be a long time before I tackle that again Alan ;>)

Hi! steve111. It is thought by the natives in Staithes that there was nothing beyond this hill!! For that reason they stayed down there, living closely as villagers do. Unfortunately, there was much incest and many of the old families are very closely related!! But don't tell them I told you so ;>) No offence to the villagers intended "cretins" ;>)

Best wishes ;>)

Hello Jim, no need for speed humps here! The place looks nice enough, but once you're downhill you can't get back: literally a tourist trap.

Best regards, Claus

Hello Claus, how good to see you here my friend ;>)

Your amusing comments brought a smile to my face as I contemplated the fate of thousands of tourists who may even now be praying for a way back ;>) The hill is a good deterrent!!

Kind regards Claus

Jim
