We're on the North Yorkshire Moors. It's raining a little, but mild, and we look colourful
There are tracks
And miles of heather
We spot this hairy caterpillar
Is this a parish boundary, a marker of something, or a gatepost?
Sue identified this as Centaury
We are fascinated by this little creature. Shouldn't he be much bigger by September?
Ann seems happy enough
We leave the moors and walk along the May Beck
Which is part of the Coast to Coast path
We have excellent sandwiches and soup at Midge Hall
Where Olivia and Ann model the bunting
This is Falling Foss - not so much water in it today
We visit the Hermitage, the cave of a hermit. There are various stories about the seat
In the afternoon the weather improves and we walk across farmland
With the other group way behind schedule because of Di's accident, we shelter from the wind for a while before setting off for the bus*
Back across the tracks of the moor
Where pylons are being scrapped
And the toblerone shape of Fylingdale, the early warning centre, appears on the horizon
