Saturday and an apology

Apologies first for not blogging last night, but I was a little busy helping Mum unpack boxes (yes after 2 days of it she still hadn't finished) and move my Nana into her new house.  Strangely though at the end of the day and after yummy fish and chips for tea Nana didn't go to her new house she went home with Tigger and said 'see you on Thursday Merlin'.

I've no idea what is going on, but I can assure you I will be at the new house on Thursday to be sure I don't miss anything.

And so to the walk.  Saturday's route was Swainby to Clay Bank Top which Wainwright descries as 'a splendid walk'.  The weather was good so great views to be had of Teeside and Roseberry Topping a miniature Matterhorn thanks to quarrying operations.

Another day, another fell top, another cairn ... this is Carlton Moor the highest point on the Cleveland escarpment

Along the way the team came across several 18th century boundary stones carved with the landowner's initials and thought this one in particular was very appropriate

He'll be wanting one in the garden when he gets home!

Finally for Saturday, the view from Clay bank Top
