Celebrations for Hawsker Honesty Box Snack Stop

An honesty box tuck shop on the Scarborough to Whitby Cinder Track is celebrating it's third birthday.

Jo's Tuck Shop at Hawsker has become a favourite stop with walkers.

Jo says what started out as a fun idea, has helped raise some money for charity and introduced her to some great people.

The snack stop at Hawsker operates on an honesty box basis where walkers and cyclists pay for what they take from the tuck shop.

Jo set it up three years ago as a community service and says it's been well used.

The tuck shop has become something of an attraction in it's own right on the Cinder track, it often features in people's reviews of the local area and was mentioned in an article in the Guardian newspaper about the Whitby area.
