I have a couple of these shots and I could decide what to post first so I pointed at my laptop screen and picked this.
This shot confirms that not everywhere in the Teesside environs is smoggy and grimy.
Stiles of all sorts and sizes are found on country walks, this one at the bottom on Saint Michael’s Hill leans over at a strange angle, however it does the job. I thought it made a nice picture with the ash tree and sunlit field as a backdrop.
Possibly my favourite set of tops...High Crag, High Stile and Red Pike, looking down into the Buttermere valley
And fences too.
I'm sorry that I have been a bit spasmodic with both my posting and my visiting over the last couple of weeks. We've been having some remedial work done on our sitting room to rectify problems with damp and so we're a bit upside down! Hopefully we should be able to move back into the room over the weekend....
So with a bit of 'luck' and a following wind things should improve re my time on Flickr (and taking photos)!
Wishing all a HFF and a great weekend.
…Up and over the stock fence & wall to follow the ‘Shropshire Way’, I was pleased to see the sun on this morning at Haughmond hill by the Abbey ruins. Happy Fence Friday folks.…..

I really like the composition on this - with the black and white conversion, there are three main characters is the scene - however it's the Style that makes it for me :-)
Today I set out for a ten mile walk with a friend and was followed for the length of two fields by Yin, who paused at the stile leading into a field of cows. There we parted company.
Later this evening I got a bit concerned when he wasn't home, not even for dinner, so I walked back across the two fields to the exact spot where I'd left him eight hours earlier and after a while saw him coming running to me. I don't think he's ever gone so far from home before and being so low in the tall grass must've seemed quite daunting to him.
Stiles are in place to enable walkers to easily climb over fences. This was was in the middle of a field and of no use. West Sussex.
After a steep and long walk up from Bridgend back down in the valley, I decided to have a pit stop here and drink in the view to the East.
Once up on the ridge here, you have great views in all directions and it is then quite an easy walk up to the summits of High Street and Kidsty Pike.
You can see the reservoir of Haweswater here at the bottom of the Riggindale Valley, looking rather less than full after the dry July and August.
Being unable to travel and therefore climb I find myself looking back a little. In this case to February this year and a fine hike I took over the Buttermere Fells. This view looks towards Fleetwith Pike from the summit of High Stile.
Looking down on Chapel Stile from Lingmoor Fell in the Lake District National Park
Chapel Stile is a village in Cumbria, England, located approximately 5 miles northwest of Ambleside, within the Langdale valley. It contains a school, church, the Co-op and the Wainwrights' Inn, and a quarry is located in the vicinity Wiki
A small stream flows between Buttermere and Crummock Water. High Stile is in the background, under a layer of puffy white clouds.
Hope everyone has a good Monday, and thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

Explanation from Wikipedia: these are commonly used where footpaths cross dry stone walls in England. This example is in the Lake Distrtict. With this type of stile there is a vertical gap in the wall, usually no more than 25 centimetres wide, and often with stone pillars on either side to protect the structure of the wall.
Stoodley Pike
The Welly Boot Song by Billy Connolly came to mind when we were crossing this stile. “If it wisnae fur yer wellies, where would you be.....”
You’d be ankle deep in the thick, gloopy mud, which was at one time frozen but is now no longer due to the amount of people who have been over this stile today. It was the same on both sides, not the easiest one we’ve negotiated during our 2020 walks.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Blue skies over Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales, Wensley Dale to be precise. River Ure looking peaceful and calm.
The River Ure is a river in North Yorkshire, England, approximately 74 miles (119 km) long from its source to the point where it changes name to the River Ouse. It is the principal river of Wensleydale, which is the only one of the major Dales now named after a village rather than its river. The old name for the valley was Yoredale after the river that runs through it.
The Ure is one of many rivers and waterways that drain the Dales into the River Ouse. Tributaries of the Ure include the River Swale and the River Skell.
