I had a run out today too capture some moorland scenery with a bit of heather in them. I thought you may like a virtual tour of my journey, I hope you enjoy the ride.
1. This stone is reputed to be a waymarker, though there is quite a number of stories regarding how it got its name. I know it as Fat Betty or White Cross. This LINK has more information if anyone is interested in the history/stories..
2 A landscape version, I thought I may get caught in the rain but it held off.
3. Just a little further along the road brings you to this one. The Millennium Stone, this is a much more modern standing stone, I think I posted a picture of this one on here last year maybe. If your eyesight is good you may just be able to make out a pub on the horizon between the standing stone and the finger post. It is the Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge, I had may bachelor night there in 1971 , showing my age eh!
4. Ana Cross between Rosedale and Lastingham. This cross marks a Burial Mound (Round Barrow) the current cross is more recent the original cross is in the Church at Lastingham.
