A little bimble around & through the ginnels & ally ways of Robin Hoods Bay North Yorkshire on a chilly, misty & mizzling winters end day. Robin Hood ( not a real person ) & the village names as it reflects the smuggling many had to do, just to survive, abject poverty & a very hard life.

#wintersnow #middlesbrough #nunthorpe a little wander to get my steps in this morning after a little overnight snow. Misty with a low sun that hid the horizon - no Roseberry Topping no Cleveland Hills on view. The 3 cats wait next to a tub of nuts for brave birds to arrive.

As Tees Valley mayor Lord Houchen's defence of his deal with local businessmen crumbles, here's the Eye's recent special report on how Britain's flagship regeneration scheme secretly turned into one of the biggest giveaways of public money on record. ➡️ www.private-eye.co.uk/special-repo...

A few photos - Friday 19th December 2025 - from an unexpected trip over to the Lake District, chilly & a little windswept, not conducive to hiking up top so a bimble around the towns & mainly getting some photos of a couple of locations I'd not visited for a long while. All quite this time of year.

Plan was to do Blencathra, however it just didn't clear up, low cloud all day & in particular the higher peaks, both Blencathra & Skiddaw were covered all the time I was there. I ended up doing a bimble up Catbells & around Derwent Water - about 5h & 26k steps. #Catbells #lakedistrict #hike

A few days in #Keswick #Cumbria up & around the town then up #Helvellyn #hiking #photography #DerwentWater #CatBells First day was a flat wander for about 24km & then up Helvellyn the next day. Lots of flat walking available & #FitzPark is a nice place to sit watching the world go by too.

And with the stomper Larry the Cat won the Internet of the Day Award!

Little jaunt up to #Northumberland yesterday #Alnwick & #Craster get my steps in & take some #streeptphotography images. The two doorways are in Alnwick & I particularly liked the MI building & entrance. In Craster I used the concrete gap in the sea wall to frame #DunstanburghCastle

Bimble about North Yorks yesterday #streetphotography #photography #pickering #york & spotted a couple of things, in Pickering esp that I liked. Pickering is at one end of the #NYMR steam train railway line - Whitby at the other, lots of character in the old station.

I visited MIT the other day - Middleton in Teesdale - had a wander up the far side of the river Tees to #HighForce Waterfall after #LowForce waterfall & then to Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle - also had a quick visit to Summerhill Force another little waterfall all walking distance.

A bright & sunny, warm sun & fresh sea breeze, bimble along the beach Marske to Saltburn to get my 10k in today. New camera lens combo gives opportunity for new views of a well known landmark: Saltburn Pier #SaltburnPier #streetphotography #photography #Saltburn

Carlisle & Whitehaven A visit to Carlisle & then back via Whitehaven. Carlisle castle apparently the most besieged in the UK, first built in 1092. Some fabulous old buildings with ginnels & alleys to explore then a little trip to Whitehaven a port & former mining town. #streetphotography

🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 Zelensky thanks the UK for its support and announces a meeting with King Charles III tomorrow. PM Keir Starmer emphasizes that Zelensky is always a welcome guest and that British aid will continue.

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/3782/pe...

Was hoping I wouldn’t have to dust off this gem again.

#streetphotography #richmond #northyorkshire a little 10k steps bimble about Richmond North Yorks today, loved the chaotic rooftops, castle was built 1071, some nice old buildings & a huge market space, lots of interesting sites & info boards about well worth a visit.

Brilliant satirical cover from Private Eye, mocking spineless media organisations and journalists who submit and cower in the face of power 👏

TikTok will be banned in America over fears it could be used by the Chinese to destabilize the government, and there's already a homegrown plan for that in place

#streetphotography #teesside #bridges #photography out getting my 10k steps in the other day along the river Tees Stockton to Middlesbrough. The red Newport Bridge center section used to lift to allow ships up river by filling the grey tanks with water, A19 road & Infinity bridges also.

I soo want to go back there. This was taken on the South Coast of Iceland in winter 2023. #WeAreRoamers #Iceland #landscapephotography #Island #photographer #mountains

#streetphotography #newcastle #photography #black&white #Gateshead A few photos from Newcastle, around the Quayside & some from the Gateshead side of the Tyne river, I like it the look in B&W. Newcastle is a very old city, 2k+ years & has some fine architecture & distinctive accent.

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work. I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

#urbex #photography #industrial #hartlepool #magnasite the old Magnasite works at Hartlepool - long gone & now houses. My most favourite urbex find & spent a couple of visits here. Even the huge pier was, mysteriously, sliced in two to stop people exploring it.

🇺🇸🇸🇾 President Biden reacts to the fall of Assad's regime in Syria: "This regime tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Syrians. Its fall is a fundamental act of justice and a historic opportunity for Syria’s suffering people to build a better future."

#Temenos #Teesside #Statue #Middlesbrough #StreetPhotography Temenos is an art installation by Anish Kapoor at the old Tees Dock, I like to see it in abstract & sometimes visit with a fixed lens just to make me see it differently. The lamp post image, a little 'Brick in the Wall' to my mind.

#CoathamSands #Redcar #Seaside #Beach #NorthEastEngland a warm sunny May stroll on Coatham Sands towards Redcar & just visible Huntcliffe at Saltburn in the hazy distance its about 16km / 10m each way - a fabulous way to relax your brain for a day.
