Yes I think 'Sculcoates' is almost certainly the right place. I've never heard of a 'Soulcoates'. And although the distance is significant if you are looking at a road map, it sounds like we are looking at sea travel, so going from Hull to/from Whitby would make a lot more sense. My favourite map website for the UK (and there are others) is www.streetmap.co.uk - that might help Good luck Kim --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail is the world's favourite email.
