Robin Hoods Bay

**Robin Hoods Bay**


Once upon a time this gorgeous little village, built on a steep hill with its quirky narrow lanes & quaint little cottages was reputedly a favourite with smugglers. Infact there is a tunnel, which is still visible today, which leads straight from the beach and under the village. Allegedly some of the houses have trap doors where contraband goods were smuggled straight from ships moored in the bay. I adore Robin Hoods Bay & I come here ridiculously often, infact there is a gate just at the top of the hill...we call this 'Anges Gate'! The beach is quite muddy but great for finding fossils, there's fantastic rock pooling to be done here too so be sure to bring your fishing net. When you are on the rocks please be aware of the tide coming in as it sweeps round behind you and you can easily end up stranded, I speak from experience here, I've had wet feet & a panic on several occasions! I've also seen people have to be physically rescued from the rocks so do keep glancing behind you as you're busy collecting crabs & fishies!
There's a cute little museum housed in the old Coroners Room with displays all about Robin Hoods Bay & Fylingdales. Its free entry & run entirely by volunteers so if you enjoy your visit as much as I did, be so kind as to give a small donation & help keep history alive.
There’s also the Old Coastguard Station visitor centre with hands on displays showing how the natural landscape was formed, an aquarium tank with local marine life on display and a National Trust shop.
There's also a fantastic fish'n'chip shop here, I recommend anything from the menu, sit on the seats overlooking the beach & enjoy! After which you might like to try a nice walk along the Cleveland Way to Boggle Hole.

Stop The Badger Cull

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/5/stop-the-badger-cull/

The Secretary of State Caroline Spelmen has announced a badger cull in Autumn 2012 as a way of tackling the spread of bovine Tuberculosis.

A 10 year badger culling study showed that culling can have 'NO MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION' to reducing the incidence of bTB in cattle. Overall, the incidence of bTB decreased by only 12-16% - THIS LEAVES 85% OF THE PROBLEM STILL THERE! Infact, during the trial, the incidence of bTB actually INCREASED due to badger culling!!! Does this sound like an appropriate control method to you?

Caroline Spelmen is going to allow farmers and landowners to shoot free running badgers (as appose to cage trapping and shooting). This is purely to cut down on costs and effort! This shooting has to take place at night as badgers are noctural and therefore the accuracy is going to be poor! This means that the badgers WILL NOT HAVE A HUMANE DEATH. Instead, they will be severly wounded and suffer a cruel, brutal and inhumane death.

WE MUST STOP THIS BEFORE IT STARTS!

Remember, it is called 'bovine' tuberculosis for a reason - cattle gave it to the badgers, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!
