Interesting mooch around Warren Moor ironstone mine near Kildale

Florrie, rescue dog section, fun dog show. Duncombe Park Country Fair.

Yesterday. A chilly walk in upper Wensleydale. I learnt that the swallows made a welcome return to the area on the 8th.

Lochranza to Kintyre, ferry hopping home.

Footpath to Fallen Rocks. Measured Mile marker, calibrating the speed of Clyde built ships.

Snow on Goat Fell.

Corrie. Rough seas. Power cut. Bright sunshine. Egg rolling. Hailstones. Pipe band at Brodick Castle.

Pirnmill church.

Sannox beach

Arran sunrise before Storm David!

Sunshine before rain. Signal not too good on Arran.

Corrie. This well built timber building was the old ferry waiting room in the days when travellers needed to be rowed out to the steamer moored off shore.

In the ferry queue at Ardrossan heading for the Isle of Arran.

Florrie and cousin Brian visit Teesmouth.

Trinity House lighthouse tender vessel. A rare visitor to the Tees.

Oops, forgot to post photo...

A small display of the interesting bricks at Steetley Pier, havn't seen one with hexagon holes before. Quite a few of the blue/grey Scoria blocks too!

Steetley Peir, interesting bricks and scoria blocks exposed due to loss of sand.

Reading the lovely tributes at Stubborn Dog Stack.

Large tractor tracks, walking in the gouge of the base being dragged along. Sorry don't know how to turn photos!

And then - the sun came out...

Tide well out at North Gare. Beautiful and bracing. Caught by blizzard. Sheltered in driftwood shack.

The south side at Coatham Sands, looking over to Seaton Snook.

Hawes, Wensleydale.

Florrie and cousin Brian waiting patiently for their dog sausages at Ropner Park cafe in the autumn.

A magical visit to Stubborn Dog Stack. Left a heart shaped piece of sea coal there for Florries Dad. Stunning stroll along beach to the tanks traps. Florrie met Olive from Cyres. Peach Melbas from cake shop. Finally RSPB for Christmas gifts and home for coffee and cakes. A splendid morning.

A welcoming warm fire, help yourself to drinks and delicious cakes made by the local community in aid of Keld Memorial Hall in Swaledale.

Exploring Reeth in Swaledale

Coastal walk at Kippford.

Visit to browse the 2nd hand book shops in Wigtown. Next a stroll around the pretty village of Garlieston (where the development of WW11 D-Day Mulberry Harbours took place). Finally, scenic drive to the Mull of Galloway. Then a breezy afternoon admiring the stunning scenery and lighthouse history.

A lovely walk admiring the engineering of the Podgill and Merrygill viaducts on the former Stainmore railway line.

Parked on the Zinc Works road at North Gare and walked over to Seaton Snook.

Watching cockle pickers head out from Ulverston Canal sea lock

Glorious autumn sunshine, Seaton Park and the beach.

"Tongue out Tuesday" Delicious dog sausage at the volunteer run cafe in Ropner Park, Stockton-on-Tees.

Shifting sands and driftwood at North Gare.

Harbourside pitch in the picturesque village of Garlieston. Lots to explore here and the surrounding area, including the Solway village of Wigtown and its many book shops!

Farewell to Yellowcraig. This pic actually taken last evening at Ravensheugh Beach.

Florrie cooling off!

Climbed up through the sun dappled woodland to reach the Hopetoun Monument near Haddington. Disappointed to find that the entrance gate which allows access to the steeply winding stairs and the 360⁰ view from the top is now padlocked. Guess it must be for health and safety reasons.
