One for you lot to have fun with...

Right, seeing how you guys generally are very helpful (
) with this sort of thing....
I have a date lined up. Now, she lives in the wilds of North Yorks and I'm trying to apply my limited knowledge of the area (despite it being <20mins from me) and arrange something to do. I gather that she's expecting us to meet around 1pm and has booked out of work for the evening...
I have collated a list of things that I know of in the area, but they all have various downfalls. They are as follows:
1. Stay in Scarborough - There's not a reet lot to do. Apart from chavving out in the arcades.
2. Go somewhere like Robin Hoods Bay - Probably lots of old biddies about, possibility of ice still about, steep hills.
3. Go to Whitby - Never been, don't know what's there. Apart from a dracula and a boat.
4. Dalby Forest - Possibly too cold, lots of walking involved. Don't know if she'd find it boring.
5. Pickering - Not much there apart from the railway. Don't particularly want to come over as a train boffin (which I'm not!).
Other than that I'm somewhat stumped for ideas. I have a reservation at a rather nice restuarant on the Scarborough-Whitby road at 7:00, so would like to stay in the general vicinity (+/- 30-40 miles).
Fire away, chaps.

Whitby.
Bracing walk around in the freezing cold, maybe some fish n chips when you first get there, walk up the steps to the abbe, try and find draculas grave, walk back down, jump in the car and drive to the restaurant.
The other suggestions won't be much cop at this time of the year - although I do lke a walk around from the North to the South bay at Scarborough - very bracing at this time of the year.
Oh and hope it doesn't rain.
Or snow.

First date? And you're starting at 1pm? With dinner at 7pm? 10 hour 1st date?
That's what I was thinking. What you going to do for dinner? Go in the same clothes you've been in all day? Unshowered? 
t while you wash your plums.
Cheers.

Lion Inn at Blakey does very good food, and you can also stay there. It's very remote though, but situated close to a lot of tourist attractions. ) with this sort of thing....I have a date lined up.

Whitby is ok, better in Summer. Scarborough....ok, but can be a bit chavvy. Pickering....it's ok, very good tea rooms called Mrs Rumages. Why don't you bring her to York? Far more to do and see!
The trouble is no where in Yorkshire really sounds appealing, however nice it is. Skinningrove could have 365 days of sunshine a year and the best restaurant in the world and I still wouldn't want to go there.
As others have said, I don't think where and what matters so much as doing something and spending some time together.
Oh and back doors, oxo tower, pictures etc
