North York Moors But No Bike

Finally got a bit of time and good weather to take a quick look at the Cleveland Way across the north York moors. Quite fancy doing the whole moorland stretch 50miles/80km. Not today though
Plenty of good views and stiff climbs. Had to do one climb twice as some idiot left the dog's lead at a viewpoint. Very popular for paragliders.





The little pimple on the horizon here is the wonderfully named Roseberry Topping. Sounds like a 1970s dessert...

 

Lunch at Lord Stones park. Him and his friends were grafeful...




Then quickly across to Saltburn to go on the cliff tram.

 

For those who, like me, take an interest in Victorian engineering, that cliff tram is water powered. Rather clever. More here....https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltburn_Cliff_Lift

The Cleveland Way turns right at Saltburn, leaves the moorland and goes along the cliffs here right down to Filey Brigg.

 

Strewth, yes. I was running up astronomical miles on my 400/4 that summer. Well done you, anyhow. I might be a bit old for the whole thing-half of it would be quite an undertaking. Still, never say never!
