After the brief pause in Helmsley, our second Moorsbus took us up to the visitor centre at Sutton Bank. From there, my walk took me eastwards through a plantation recently redeveloped to include a cycle trail. After that I joined the Cleveland Way long distance footpath past Hambleton House, an important centre for racehorse training, and on towards the village of Cold Kirby.
Beyond Hambleton House, the views become wide. This shot gives a first view of the sea of cloud stretching into the distance, and it made me question the accuracy of the weather forecast.
It also reminded me of a TV programme, one of a series of Winter Walks, that I saw a few months ago, one of which followed a very simular route to mine, and which was quite a rainy walk. I was more fortunate, and the day remained dry, and at times quite sunny.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I fully expected that I would get wet at some point on my walk, but I didn't. Shortly after I took this shot the cloud became rather more broken, with more blue sky to be seen and occasional bursts of sunshine. It was a lovely day for a walk, no rain and not too hot.
We have had a lot of rain since this was posted, and there have been floods here as well. So sad to hear that several people died in the storms in your country.
