I hosted a 'Myths, Ghost's and Legend's' talk in the fascinating 'La Rosa' hotel recently for this assembly of lunatics. Absolutely loved it!

Just finished a nice walk tonight. After we had finished, as often happens, a bloke came to shake my hand. In his palm he had a rolled up tenner. Now, tips are most, MOST welcome, but when they are offered in this old, traditional way, so nobody sees the transaction, it really feels special!

I love this time of year. The walks are always, for some strange reason, just more enjoyable than any other time of the year. Why could that be?

Here's something I wasn't expecting. As I turned up for last night's walk, I saw the crowd waiting near the whale bones. It was a large group of teenagers. Now, this very often means one thing.....a tough walk. Teenagers are always, ALWAYS the most difficult crowd. They tend to be disruptive, noisy, and very often don't have much respect for both me, and the rest of the crowd. Sorry if you don't want to hear that....but it's true! However, straight away I found this group were different. They were, I think, all from London and I gather many were from quite rough areas. But....these kids were the most respectful, attentive, and just plain nicest group of teenagers I can remember taking round! This really does make a difference to me, and I really enjoyed the walk. So to the group last night, and the teachers, a big " thank you " from Doctor Crank! (And maybe I shouldn't Pre-judge next time).
Here's the pic from after the walk. This lot were really going for it! I reckon the girl on the right, and the guy at the top in grey just might really be....the undead!

Joined on the walk a couple of nights ago by these enigmatic creatures. They insisted on holding my magic stick for the photo....

If you were hoping to come on the walk on Monday 19th August, it has been called off. I forgot when I set this months dates that next Monday is Whitby regatta fair. This takes over a lot of the town, and I remember the last time I did a walk on this evening....not good! Sorry!

Steampunk or goth, all are welcome on "Doctor Cranks World Famous Ghost Walk "! And thank you so much to these two ladies. When my voice went, they gave me a piece of whitby rock to suck. Made such a difference!

Just a quick "thank you" to the group last night. It was so wild up on West cliff we had to shelter next to the Royal Hotel before we set off! However, what a great walk it turned out to be!
