ok thanks tiggy I will try and keep a watchfull eye..yes Whitby is a smashing little place..we have stopped at the Royal a couple of times..a bit dated I know..but it ticks all the boxes for DH with a lift/entertainment in the hotel and lovely harbour views, If my friend and I did travel up I think we would sat at a little farmhouse B n B called Skelderdale farmhouse (think I am allowed to mention it) it's just a few miles out and DH and I stayed there for one night a few yrs ago..and they also have lock up for bikes..so watch this space!! 
(glad you managed to get off the barge ok )
