Sensible advice from the RNLI who are probably sick of people doing stupid things and getting called out.
No watch out for vampires warning though (or seagulls eating your chips). Major omissions.
When we were there a couple of years ago, the gulls were waiting on buildings and swooping down to mug people as soon as they came out of the chippy. Not as bad as the gulls in Hastings though. They carry flick knives.

Have done great cycling in that area in the past, but it's not really in range for my daily exercise (round trip of 600 miles)

You are so right!
I went to Whitby as a young man, in my 20s. I walked up the hill to take a look at its famous abbey and immediately started to sense a malevolent force acting upon me. Within minutes I was overpowered by fatigue and collapsed near a dry stone wall. I remained there motionless for hours, drifting in and out of consciousness. When I finally started to recover I discovered that I had aged nearly 40 years in just one afternoon. And evil locals had erected a sign to taunt me: "I am very old and crumbly"... The swines! Stay safe! Stay home!

Looks like they were taking the advice not to sit on you.

The b*st*rd with the camera was sitting on my head when I came round!

PS The sign asked people not to climb on me... It didn't say anything about sitting on me!

Yeah... As you will recall, I don't normally look quite that pained!

I had my lunch indoors with my cousin, but we DID observe seagulls trying to snatch stuff from other other visitors!
