Description
A replacement for LofWhi 1 avoiding about 6.5km / 4mi of walking along the busy A174, which often has a 60mph limit and for about 1.8km has no pavement which is problematic.
This route is about 4km longer, about 2km is from avoiding that 60mph / no pavement walking, the other half is removing a number of small diversions from the England Coast Path which is likely to have better signage and maintainance. The ECP here is the same as the Cleveland Way, another long distance walking route.
There are a number of places to stay or eat in the villages plus food shopping in Staithes. The X4/X4A bus runs from Whitby to Middlesborough via Loftus and the A174 and it has a decent service, even on Sundays

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
