Yorkshire East Coast Tour – Sandsend

March 2019
We actually visited Sandsend twice out of the three days we did on the Yorkshire Coast/North York Moors. That’s because, on the first day we visited, it was shut!

Hole of Horcum, North York Moors

Wed 20 March 2019
Richard had been bought a great Christmas present by his sister – a free night’s hotel stay in one of several locations. We picked The Downe Arms Hotel in Wykeham – 6 miles west of Scarborough and booked an extra two nights to go with it. This meant we would be on the edge of the North York Moors – a beautiful walking area. The ‘Hole of Horcum’ was one of the places I was most keen to visit for a walk…

Whinfell Ridge – Cracking Ridge but a Long Finish

Sat 6 Apr 2019
My friend Simon and I found we had one of the same ambitions – that of doing the Whinfell Ridge between the A6 and the M6. While I’m perfectly happy to wander along these lonely hills on my own, company can really liven up the day and make the miles go quicker so we agreed to meet up one day in April to do it. This was the day – and what a cracking day out it was! 🙂

Durham – a Beautiful Old City Day Out

The day of my UFO Concert in Newcastle, we had a few hours to fill. I’d never been to Durham but it was only 15 minutes from Newcastle by train so Richard and I decided to go there. He’d been before so could act as my guide 🙂

Goodbye UFO (sadly)

Thu 28 Mar 2019
I just had a trip to Newcastle’s O2 Arena to see UFO’s final tour ‘Last Orders’. If they really have retired, it’s a sad day for rock but I believe they have 😦

Alcock Tarn Evening Walk

Feb 2019
The evening before my Fairfield walk, I’d arrived at our hotel in what was a gorgeous late afternoon – sunny and very warm. Richard hadn’t yet arrived so I decided that, although there was only an hour and a half of daylight left, I ought to at least go up to the lovely Alcock Tarn with my camera!

Binsey & Whittas Park in the Snow

Sat 2 Feb 2019

Still getting going in the hills after the hip op but this was before the last post where I finally managed to get into the bigger hills at last (Fairfield/Blencathra). I’ve been waiting for my film using up/processing though…
