Today's walk was on a day that was very cold and the conditions were muddy and very slippery. The Vale of York was covered in fog as far one could see in any direction. I headed north along the Cleveland Way Foot Path for about half a mile from which I took the photograph and descended down the very muddy and slippery footpath to Lake Gormire.
Photograph of Lake Gormire.
This photograph of the red fungi ( haven't a clue what they are called ) was on the far side of the lake.
Eventually, having battled through mud, reminiscent of The Somme, around the lake and climbing back up through the muddy old pack horse trail of Thirlby Bank I eventually reached the top. At the top you can see Lake Gormire below, White Mare or Whitestone Cliff to the left and Hood hill in the background. You can see the fog in the background.
Returned to Sutton Bank and crossed the A170 road to head briefly south along the Cleveland Way footpath to take the following photographs. This photograph shows Hood Hill and Roulston Scar.
Looking west across the fogbound Vale of York to the Pennines ( which you can't see because of the fog!! ) Hood Hill, which was occupied in neolithic times and is the site of a Sabre Jet Jet aircraft which crashed vertically into it in 1954.

Similar to the previous photograph.
