Kettleness March 2024

Kettleness Seeonee Lair, Whitby

Converted from Kettleness railway station in the 1960’s by the East Cleveland Scout District, Seeonee Lair Campsite and Activity Centre is our venue for our March 2024 residential camp.

Based in the remote hamlet of Kettleness, perched on the cliff tops of the North East Coast of England. The fishing port and holiday resort of Whitby is just 4 miles down the road.  The location enjoys magnificent views and the station still retains some of its original features. The location is also just a short walk from the sandy beach of Runswick Bay. For more details check out the their website https://www.kettleness.org.uk/home.

Planned activities will involve time out in Whitby Saturday night where you will be given time to choose and eat your evening meal, plus time on the beach Sunday morning.

Parents please check that all contact and medical details are up to date on OSM, in case of an emergency these are the details we will use.
