Overview

Scarborough bus trip  

Now that the festivities are over and the cold has settled in, I'm sure many of you are looking forward to warmer days. Perhaps even thinking of having an ice cream in the sunshine or a trip to the seaside. I'm therefore delighted to tell you that following on from our successful trip to Whitby last year, Mike Webber has kindly arranged a coach trip to Scarborough this year, for Sunday, 18th May.  

 

Scarborough has many attractions to fill your day. You can spend your time exploring the many independent shops, enjoying the cafes as you go. Perhaps visit Peasholm Park, the Art Gallery or the Old Town. Alternatively, you can begin your visit by joining one of two walks being offered. The first will be a linear walk of approximately 8 miles and led by Brian Scott. You will be dropped off by the coach on route to Scarborough, ensuring that you will still have plenty of time left in the day to enjoy the town, have a meal or try that Ice cream. The second is a circular walk of approximately 5 miles, starting in Scarborough, and will be led by Mike Webber. All you have to do is decide, on the day, what you want to do. Explore or a ramble, or both! It's entirely up to you.

 

A 59-seater coach has been reserved with JH Coaches, as they did a fine job last year. The expected departure time from the old Civic Centre car park, Chester Le Street, DH3 3UA is 8.30am, with an approximate departure time of 6.30pm from Scarborough. Exact details and times will be confirmed closer to the date.   

 

The planned date is Sunday, 18th May and the cost is £17 per person. This is non-refundable to enable us to secure the coach for everyone. However, a full refund would be made, less a 10% deposit (that we can't recover), if the trip needs to be cancelled due to lack of numbers. Any surplus income from the bookings would be used for Chester le Street Rambler activities.
