More about this scene

This pair of old railway coaches parked on the cliff top at Ravenscar, the eastern terminus of the Lyke Wake Walk, served as basic accommodation for campers in the mid-Fifties, but they have long since disappeared. The 40-mile marathon walk has to be completed within 24 hours, and the successful walkers become members of the Lyke Wake Club.
