First view of the North Sea plus Yorkshire Moors



The first view of the North Sea (not yet RHB) and shots of the Yorkshire Moors as I looked for Heathcliff.

View from the top




More nice views and the rain coming in.

More from Yorkshire




Bluebells in the forest, another sheep, and Hawthorne trees (will those grow in NJ?)

Richmond Castle




Shots of Richmond Castle - built after the Norman invasion but not really needed after.

Animals and Garlic





More views from the trail - cute animals and a patch of wild garlic - which really smelled as you walked through it.


Herriott Bridge and Yorkshire Dales



This is James Herriott Bridge and the more from the Yorkshire Dales.

Yorkshire and Low Row



Love Low Row as a name for a town.

Into Yorkshire




These were among our first sights of Yorkshire.

Nine Standards




These are three thousand year old columns built to deter invasion. Very immpressive.

Shap Abbey and a Favorite Panoramic



Shap Abbey is one devolved by Henry VIII. The size is rather impressive. The panoramic is one of my favorites.

More animals




Cows and Sheep and Horses

More from up high



More that I really like including the very long lake we had to walk around.

Swimming Lake


This is the cairn where we went swimming. Haven't decided if the bathing suit pix will get posted.

More climbing from Patterdale




The climb out of Patterdale was very pretty.

Patterdale and the climb




This is Patterdale's lake and the climb out of town.
