No advice then, folks ?

Can’t help as we went to the C&CC site last September and really enjoyed it. No good to you but...
Close to the Cinder Track cycling and walking path.
Close to the Cleveland Way coastal path.
Walking distance to Scarborough.
The staff were great.
Other Funsters on site

We’ve stayed at the caravan club site at east ayton, not used any cl’s as we used to live in Scarborough and only went back for trip down memory lane.

Attached is a map showing all cl, cs and main club sites (2020) close to Scarby if that helps.

It’s a fair old walk to Scarborough from Cayton. I too used to live there. I’ve even run it the other way round carrying a hundredweight of coal but that’s another story from the distant past.......:.

Marty Gilly and Pup We walked in on the Coastal Path and really enjoyed it. Two buses stop outside the site so we caught one back. Sods Law that the return ticket we bought the next day on the way in couldn’t be used on the bus we caught on the return bus - different companies.
I couldn’t get over how close Cayton is to Scarborough sea front, or how big Cayton is. It could be because the bus doesn’t take a direct route. Really enjoyed Scarborough and Whitby even though I didn’t expect to. It shows I shouldn’t have prematurely judged them by my preconceived stereotypes!

Blimey, the old coal race.... Haven't heard that for many years.
As you know, was an annual event.

Did it several times. Rugby. Coal hump to give it its proper title. It was totally and utterly nuts. Your head buried into your chest and filthy. Still it was downhill from Osgodby!!

Yep nice area. Bit sleepy as all seaside places at times but as many other traditional single industry towns, struggling for a new identity and purpose.
Cayton really isn’t that big so I think your bus/walk passed through other areas along the way. Used to be the 120 and 124 I think (40 years ago lol)

Caravan and camping South Yorkshire da have a rally on then, we are staying with them for a few days.

Many thanks, campers, for your input. Managed to find CL and booked it. Phew ! Background is two daughters and their families (with ankle biters) are booked into a big site near Scarborough and we wanted a likle peace and quiet on our own patch elsewhere. Yeah, I know we are selfish.
Anyway, what’s a hundredweight, is that foreign ?

[Marty Gilly and Pup]

Hundredweight is a twentieth of a ton or 112lb or 50.8kg
Heavy enough for sure
