On my trip to the North York Moors last weekend I saw snow, rain, high winds and bright sunshine. I was disappointed that the snow and the rain meant I couldn’t go bouldering, but I still had a great time walking along the coast, in wooded valleys and over the moors. Here are the highlights of my trip –
The beautiful view of Robin Hood’s Bay from Ravenscar.
I was amazed to find a lizard hiding from the cold on a standing stone on Howdale Moor. The cold was probably the reason he stayed very still.
I always really like visiting waterfalls on rainy days. This is Mallyan Spout, in the valley below Goathland.
Mallyan Spout and West Beck.
The stone row (AKA stone alignment) on Simon Howe Rigg in the snow.
Simon Howe – a round barrow (burial mound) on Simon Howe Rigg. Round barrows such as this date from the Late Neolithic to the Late Bronze Age.
Thomason Foss near Beck Hole, North Yorkshire.

Wow! I didn’t know we had lizards in Yorkshire. Well spotted.

Thanks – neither did I until I saw it.
Nice to see those as I’m off there very soon myself!
Thanks. Have a good time!
Best wishes,

Excellent photos Robin. Thank you!
Thanks.
Inspiring photos, Robin! The lizard is amazing – they are usually so hard to find here, compared to warmer countries. I have never managed to photograph one . . . Your pictures always make me want to throw my boots in the car & set out . . . A breath of fresh air . . . Thank you, Diana

Thanks Diana.
It’s a lovely part of the country and I should try to go there more often.
It was certainly lucky to see the lizard. I was helped in taking the photo by the fact that it was so cold that the lizard didn’t want to move. It’s so much easier to take photos of nature when nature stays still.
Best wishes,
Robin
