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.
A dig in to the back catalogue and the eye catching setting of this stile near the top of Pen yr Ole Wen. The view across the Ogwen Valley as you ascend this mountain is delightful. The brooding mass of the pyramidal peak of Tryfan captivates the scene, with Llyn Ogwen at its feet and the full majesty of the Glyderau as a backdrop. There are few places in the UK that can match it for majestic mountain scenery.
It wasn't the best of days weather wise, but the light piercing through the gloomy October skies momentarily lit up Cwm Idwal in the distance. "A bit of light in the Devils Kitchen" is always nice!
This is the Esk Valley Trail approaching Stormy Hall in Danby Dale which is in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park
The ancient stone steps in the wall now has the safety features of the extensive wood rails to help us older folks safely over
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
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.
…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.…..

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 Palermo c'è un posto che nessuna guida turistica cita: Villa Igiea,
Particolare attenzione fu dedicata alle decorazioni degli ambienti interni, il cui stile segue la corrente dell'Art Nouveau o Stile Liberty, tali decorazioni furono eseguite da diversi astisti, tra i quali Giovanni Enea ed Ettore De Maria Bergler che dipinse l'originaria sala da pranzo più nota come Sala degli Specchi o Sala Basile.
on the way back to the car - this was the last stile I had to climb over and just after closing the car door the heavens opened again..
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.
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.
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.
