I tried to do the kofi and give you some bucks, but it wouldnt go through despite repeated attempts😫

[@OutandaboutwithAndy]

I hope Mrs Metalman is feeling better soon. A great look around Whitby Steampunk Festival, Alan. We're big fans of Mr Chips too, definitely the best shop in town.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Picked up slightly today, thank goodness and she missed out on a great day down at Whitby, I had a great time, really enjoyed it, despite having to go early. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@mothmagic1]

If you can't get decent fish and chips in Whitby you won't get it anywhere. All because the majority of the chippies are just across the road from the fish market

[@EpicAdventureCouple]

Looks like a fun festival guys. Thanks

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was, always a great festival weekend down at Whitby and always full of so many wonderful people too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

Whitby Steam Punk Festival in summer sounds like an amazing experience! Your video captures the essence of the festival perfectly, from the lively Morris dancing to the charming stalls and scenic views of Whitby Abbey. It’s great to see such a vibrant event in a beautiful North Yorkshire setting. Thanks for sharing this day out with us! Have great day Alan. Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you so much and it was such a good day, always fun at Whitby, especially when the sun shines and I met so many wonder people while I was there. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@OSMOneStepMore]

Hi Alan First of all, I like this music suitable for this big festival. A great idea to visit the festival in this hot summer season. Very popular and lots of stands, it's cheerful, singing, great atmosphere. I would like to enjoy myself there eating fries with a good beer. Pleasant ambience. Great company, cheers, Zac

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Many thanks, really appreciate you stopping by and it is always such a fun festival, filled with great people and made all the better with the sun shining too. Despite having to leave the festival early, I still manged to really enjoy myself there, cheers Alan

[@Wanna.Wander]

What a cool festival! I love stuff like this. It looks like yall had a nice time. The dancing is so fun and I love the culture. Lots of cool dress and costumes and a big crowd. Your country looks amazing Alan. Im binge-watching your videos after busy travels mostly off grid.

So great to be here again... and you are looking great, my friend! I hope your health problems are a thing of the past. A Steam Punk Festival, wow.... I sang at the Wads Stock Festival in Wootten last week. Amazing experience. Love your clothes..............

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much for watching and a real fun day out down at Whitby, filled with so many wonderful people, all enjoying the day - we all need more days like this, cheers Alan

[@ItStartsWithAStep]

It looks like a great place to visit and a really fun experience :) I definitely need to check it out! Awesome costumes, loads of Jack sparrows there :D Whitby looks like a beautiful place. I loved walking along the water with you and mr chips made me feel hungry! cute boat ride as well if it tickles your fancy. Fun day out x

[@AlanMETALMAN]

They are doing a Pirate Festival the last weekend in August for the very first time, so I will be giving that a go too, as the Steam Punk and Goth Festivals at Whitby are always awesome, I really enjoy them. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

I would love to come with you to this or the Goth Festival! Yeah, you did meet a lot of great people and saw a lot of cool costumes! You were very fortunate with the great weather! I'm glad to hear those fish and chips are always consistently good! Awesome, you had a good time, Alan!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

The weather was great and even better the following day, just a shame I had to go early and not able to go at all on the Sunday but I still had an awesome time with some wonderful people. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@Barnyz]

I was not aware there was a steam punk festival as well as the goth one, fascinating. Im glad to see you dressed appropriately. Nice to see you were recognised as well. Whitby is a fantastic location and im keen to visit it again one day. Have a splendid sunday, cheers from barnyz

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, they run as the Goth Festivals twice a year, although the SPF is not as big. It is just as much fun though and filled with the same awesome people, its a really good vibe down there. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@Packsalot]

Another awesome trip to the festival. People sure do play and wear their parts well. Fun to see. Awesome that you stop and talk with some of them too. I saw a Jack Sparrow look alike in the crowd. Pretty cool. Kristy would love coming here. This is too similar to Halloween with all the outfits and costumes. Awesome stuff. Hope all is well. Oh, the fish n chips looked amazing btw. Have a wonderful day.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for watching, real good of you and yes, another fun day at Whitby and a few of the same people that also go to the Goth Festival there too. Shame I had to go early but I still enjoyed a really good day, cheers Alan

[@The_Brit_Girls]

Hi Alan, everyone looked absolutely fabulous - including your good self 😎 I loved the backdrop of the gothic graveyard and the pretty harbour. Whitby is the perfect place to host the awesome Steam Punk Festival. The singing and dancing were fun and the event had an amazing vibe. The background music you chose was great. Thanks for showing us around with such style. We hope Mrs Metalman gets better soon ❤

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks so much and it is such a great place to host this and the Goth Festivals too. There is going to be a pirate festival starting at the end of August, so I hope to go to that and see what its like as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@luckyjanetravel]

I really enjoyed that day out, Alan. Brilliant footage. Some fantastic costumes there. And you looked very smart. Dinner looked very tasty 😋 Brilliant video 👌 ❤

Looks like you had a blast! Those Morris dancers were fantastic!!!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

They are, really enjoyed them and the whole day, some amazing people and amazing effort people had taken as well, even the sun came out, which was very much appreciated. Thanks so much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@o.bsoutdoors3871]

Hi Alan, What a colourful video! Whitby in the sunshine, what could be better. This really does look like such a fun event. Everyone looks fabulous in their steam punk regalia 🤩🙌. The monkey with Mr and Mrs draper was a work of art! Ooh Mr chips made our tummies rumble, looked delicious 😋. What a fantastic event, would make a great weekend away. Thanks for the tour! Have a great week ahead, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

The weather was perfect as well, just such a shame I had to go early and miss out on Sunday too. As well as this one and the Goth festivals they are going to start a Pirate Festival the last weekend in August so that should be fun too, so I will be heading there for that one as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan.

[@riverghost109]

Hopefully your both feeling a little better and is always great to catch up with you boss 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks very much but I am down with it now and just had a to cancel a day away with my son in the Lakes today :o(. Really nice to see you both again last Saturday and I hope you had a great Sunday too. Take care and thank you so much for watching, cheers Alan

[@JauneMacReady]

Nice one Alan. Another festival I've missed! Oh dear. Maybe next time 😃 great video 👍❤️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Next time, as it is brilliant, always great fun and some amazing people too, I always enjoy it. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@petercregg7525]

Great video alan. Really need to get to whitby for the steam punk and goth festivals 👏👏👏

[@AlanMETALMAN]

You should, it really is a great day or even a weekend, especially when you get the sunny weather, if anything it was a bit too hot yesterday, I was melting lol. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@JenniferLupine]

Fun festival Alan! Love seeing all the costumes and clothing! People of all ages are having a grand time! It’s interesting to see how people express Steam Punk- including Pirates! I wonder if some of the people cross-over and steam punk is their life style? Anyway, it’s lots of fun- great music and food too. Whitby is an awesome location- I remember when you went to the Goth Festival too! Yum, Fish and Chips! Hi to Mrs. M, Cheers! ⭐⭐ Jen

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, they are having their first pirate festival at Whitby next month so there is a lot of cross over. I always look for ward to these weekend festivals and brilliant the weather was so nice too. Shame I had to go early but I still has an awesome time. Thanks very much for stopping by, cheers Alan

[@JenniferLupine]

@@AlanMETALMAN Cheers!

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Thats a lot of fun here. Also a beautiful place for sure❤

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for visiting and a festival I always look forward to every year, so much fun and so many amazing people. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@nigelharness9032]

Hi Alan, another top day out at Whitby, the Morris dancers to the fish and chips you can tell you really enjoy these events, your getting as well known at Whitby now as well as in Cumbria LOL, anyways enjoyed the vid cheers nigel

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Always enjoy Whitby and always enjoy the festivals there too, always great fun and filled with wonderful people too, looking forward to the next one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@FXWalesAnnaAlf]

Hi Alan, love the sound of the seagulls 😃 Sorry to hear about Mrs M, hope she is better now 🙏 I do love the look of Whitby and must visit once day. Everyone seemed so friendly at this festival that you spoke to especially Mr and Mrs Draper and cute friend, and the costumes were amazing that everyone had on. The streets and shops are so lovely, lots of steps going up there though 😃 The abbey and church are stunning and those gravestones so atmospheric. That nun story was really funny 😄👏 The views looking down to the coast are so beautiful and that harbour is stunning. Fabulous Morris dancers and people and the fish and chips looked delicious. Whitby is the perfect place to host this festival. This was really good to watch 👍~ Anna

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, she has a chest infection, so really disappointed she is stuck indoors with her feet up, something she hates. Always enjoy this festival and the Goth festivals too, so much fun, great people and I always have to have a Whitby fish n chips, nothing else cuts it lol. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@thehealthanarchist]

Great video Alan , Whitby is amazing , I liked the Morris dance group , you get a lot of traditional Morris dancers in the Saddleworth villages near me , pretty friendly bunch , they do a couple of 10 minute dances then are drinking ale in the pubs the rest of the time! might have to do become one myself 😂😂 best wishes pal 🦇🦇🖤🖤,

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Glad you enjoyed it and it was a great day out, real friendly people and even the sun cane out too, could not have wished for more this year. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@Sanniz]

Great video Alan. And I hope Mrs Metalman feel better soon. Much Lovely people and items. Loved see all ages mixed. Hope you can stay longer next time you visit Withby. Sadly I will miss the Goth festival... I am going to UK earlier... Have a wonderful evening and cheers 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Yes, I know that is a shame but I know you very good reasons why. Mrs Metalman has a chest infection, which is taking forever to clear but hopefully on the mend now. I had to leave early to make sure she was okay but went really early as well, so I still enjoyed the day and met some wonderful people. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@JohnAmes]

great video my friend

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for the visit John, real good of you buddy, cheers Alan

[@LivinginTheNewForest]

That looks so much fun Alan. One year we'll make the effort to come up for the weekend. I was expecting it to be busier - no long queue for the fish and chips, like it is at the goth festivals. That was an impressive small portion too! Best wishes, Rob

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I let at 12.00 Rob as people were starting to flood into town and I had to get back, so I think I got the best and the quietest part of the day, especially with the temperature raising. Still, I had a brilliant day, always enjoy these festivals, always fun and always filled with wonderful people. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@thegeordiefellwalker8878]

haven't a clue what it's all about but its a nice colourful spectacle 😊 hope the mrs is ok 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thanks for the visit and its a chest infection but a stubborn one but hopefully starting to feel a bit better today. A really good day out and a festival I always look forward too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@morgsjoboo2247]

Hi Alan Hope Mrs Metalman is feeling better soon. We keep saying we need to come to one of the festivals at Whitby, they look amazing and so friendly 😊 Think next time we visit Whitby we will park at the park and ride (Thanks for the tip) What amazing costumes. Hope Mrs M enjoyed her fudge you took back for her We have to carry Boo up the 199 so no running for us up there like Nick and Jill do. We walk up too. You got some great footage with getting there early. The Ravens Morris group were great 😊 Those fish and chips looked delicious. We really enjoyed this Hope you're enjoying this lovely weather ☀️

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Mrs Metalman suffering with a chest infection and on her second lot of antibiotics, which is whey I got there so early and was away by dinner time too (she did enjoy that fudge mind). I still had a brilliant day mind, love these festivals at Whitby and meeting so many wonder people too. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi Alan, Wow you are ready dressed up for Steam Punk! I am so sorry to hear Mrs. Metalman. Wow Stream Punk performers are quite outstanding! all female???wow haha Mrs. Metalman should have been shopping here 18:52 hahah Hats? jewelry? dresses? etc.. aweee, it could have been fantastic lunch with Mrs. Metalman Fewer PPL on the streets, I could see some landmark, statutes, and beautiful calm water. Well done Mr. Alan for the walking tour. I wish Mrs. Metalman quick recovery See you next time

[@AlanMETALMAN]

No both male and female Steam Punkers and a really good time, such a shame Mrs Metalman missed out but her chest infection made it impossible for her to go. It was a really warm day and I was overheating with my big jacket on but I had a brilliant day out. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Looks like you had a good time.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It was a great day out, always is at Whitby, especially when the sun is shining. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@DestinationsChronicles]

Not one of them? I would think swimming in the North Sea would be right in your wheel house? This was so fun. I need to find a steam punk festival near me!

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Even in the height of summer the North Sea is baltic, so no chance of catching me in there lol. They are great fun and filled with even better people too. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@NigelBrown-h5m]

Hi Alan was in Whitby as well were going to the pirates day end of August ,steampunk ,goths day always fun get ya sen down for that pirates as well 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Sounds great and funny enough I have it wrote on my diary, so fingers crossed for another sunny and fun weekend in Whitby. Thanks very much for watching and taking the time to leave to leave a comment, very much appreciated, cheers Alan

[@Herfortz]

0:46 Give her my best ....... 10:55 They were very nice ...... 17:08 "CLAP, CLAP, CLAP !!!!" ....... 29:10 I'll grab my hat.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Thank you, I will :o). Great day out, always loads of fun and I cannot wait till the next one. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@GENerationXplorers]

Young and fit!? Yikes. Just watching you on the big telly now. Well done on the 199, we skipped it on this occasion, those steam punkers never seem to venture up to the Abbey! Great info about the weekends and park and ride. I’ll have nun of that, what mean friends! Ah yes, you’re right about the Goths they love the Abbey. Got some great shots that early Alan. So many pirates. Quite possibly more than steam punks! They are taking over! Yes Mr Chips is the best in Whitby although we are looking forward to Wendy’s opening up in the old Papas place. Amazing shots of the empty streets, forget about a ghost tour this is a ghost town! Good old bridge ender. Ravens Morris, they are great. Gary and June, oh no we missed them. Yay you got the South Shields and Fort William Dragon lot! Hey up, it’s Mr Chips time. Great value. Nice visit to Tate Pier. Ah what an amazing video and no parking ticket! 👍

[@AlanMETALMAN]

I was taking to the bus driver and he said the park and ride would be available for the Goth weekend but the last bus back out be at 16.45, so maybe worth a though for parking (free) and a couple of quid for a return ticket. I met some wonderful people and the ones I talked to that watched my channel all said they watched yours too, so such a shame you did not bump into them all. To be honest that is the first time I have even say in Mr Chips and it was really nice inside with a couple of real friendly lasses too, a very pleasant experience I must try again and hopefully with Mrs Metalman next time too. I loved Ravens Morris, such a friendly bunch and very entertaining as well. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@stevethomas-cc5lz]

nice video. they dont do this stuff in TEXAS. we have a few ren faires but they are all to far to go to and they are all in summer so its waaaay to hot to go

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Anything over 22C (72F) and that is me completely wasted, so the thought of doing anything in Texas heat would be no good to me, especially wearing some of the outfits that were on show at the Steam Punk Festival lol. Thanks very much for watching, cheers Alan

[@carrollleopard1961]

Alan, thanks for sharing the video. Whitby is a beautiful city with magnificent architecture and the seaside. The 199 steps is quite a workout. The costumes were great but I’m not familiar with a steam punk festival but it looked like a fun day. Hope Mrs Metalman is feeling better. The music/dance team were very good. How far do you live from Whitby?

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It is just over an hours drive for me to get to Whitby, so it is a place we visit quite a lot, especially mid week, out of school holidays when it is a lot quieter. Steam Punk started in the 1970s in the UK but its inspirations go back to 9th century Victorian times. Its always a fun festival and one I always look forward too. Appreciate you stopping by, cheers Alan

[@Papillion-Man]

So them seats that were there to seat coffin bearers in the past... are now in use for coffin dodgers 😂

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Haha, yes, very true and I was dam grateful for it as well. Appreciate you watching, cheers Alan
