It wasn't too hot on Saturday, certainly a lot cooler than it is now, so after a look at the Lumberjills sculpture (see yesterday's post) we had a woodland walk. I seem much more vulnerable to the effects of heat than I used to be, so a woodland walk on a hot day is ideal.
Our walk took us south-west from the sculpture on a path parallel with the access road, and it was on this path that I took this shot. Eventually we had a short part of the walk on the road itself, before turning off and following a long curve downhill path into the Ellerburn Valley.
After a stop to look in the ancient little church there, we followed a beck southwards into Thornton Dale village, with much of this path under the shelter of trees. So only a very short walk, but enough on a warm day.
Near the village car park is a large old mill pond surrounded by trees and well provided with benches, so we were able to sit and relax there until it was time to catch a Moorsbus to Pickering to connect with the Moorsbus back to York.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was a lovely walk through the woods on what seemed a very warm day. It's around 15 degrees wamer now and I'm wilting without going out of our house. I'm looking forward to the temperature dropping back towards the low 20s!
( We`re doing less than nothing as long as it`s hot.)

Thank you Vesna. We chose a walk which was mainly sheltered to avoid the heat.
