Robin Hood's Bay

This coastal scene looks across Robin Hood's Bay from Boggle Hole on the edge of the North York Moors. I had just walked from Scarborough along the Cleveland Way (and you can read about that here) and was staying in the Boggle Hole Youth Hostel, which is situated in a narrow valley by the coast. The Coast to Coast walk ends (or starts) at Robin Hood's Bay and the next day I set off along it across the North York Moors.

The Coniston Fells from the Old Man

This picture shows the Lake District at its best from the top of a mountain, specifically, the view from the top of the Old Man of Coniston on a beautiful day two years ago looking north over the Coniston Fells, passing along the ridge over Brim Fell to Swirl How with the great Lakeland skyline beyond. It's days like this that make all the grey, cloudy days worth enduring.
