This week I spent my photography time looking to get a few more images that would fit into the Industrial Heritage challenge. That is the monthly challenge set within the Chris Sale coaching work.

If you have read my last blog post you will know that Tracey and I had a long weekend staying at Robin Hoods Bay, the weekend before the last one. We agreed that we should explore and do some walking and the OS Map told us that The Cleveland Way as a great walk in

The North Yorkshire Moors National Park is somewhere that we have been interested in exploring for a while. Trips to Goatland, and York, wetted our appetite, as we drove through the National Park.
