Boxing day ride around Balderdale and onto Goldsborough Rigg #Teesdale #NorthPennines
My mountain bike laid on its side on the top near the edge of the stone plateau of Goldsborough Rigg with Blackton Reservoir in the distance An old stone trough of some sort sits randomly on the top of the Rigg hidden amongst the grass. I've no idea what it was doing there A black and white selfie of me in fetching mountain bike gear including helmet and sunglasses (sitting on the helmet). The front half of my mountain bike came be seen behind me A shadow selfie of me on my bike projected onto a dry stone wall

#Saltburn (on Sea, not the TV thing)
Saltburn pier and cliff railway viewed from the top of the cliff View back up the cliff railway from the seafront. The two carriages are half way up the cliff. At the bottom, in the foreground, is the lower station. It's closed up for the season A view back inland from towards the far end of the pier Looking out to sea along the pier. A line of benches are on either side of the pier which is vanishing off into the distance. A sea girl is flying above the pier in the middle distance

It's #Fairytale Day. 25 years today since Kirsty was killed. Stick it on loud, raise a glass, and sing along.

A rainy night in #Coventry
The end wall of a timber framed building lit up by a street lamp in front of it giving it a beautiful orangey yellow glow. In the distance the spire of Holy Trinity Church is also lit up. The sky is an odd grey - the rain in the sky both darkening the night whilst reflecting the light from the city streets A small part of the remnants of medieval Coventry. The tower of the old cathedral rises high into the wet, grey night sky. Next to, and just behind the tower, is the shell of the cathedral - through the empty windows its far walls can also be seen. A timber framed medieval building is also visible on the right, slightly overhanging above the street From the old to the new (well post war). The skies are still the same grey wet reflecting the city lights. The modernist library building stands to the right of the picture. In the foreground are some low concrete squares holding some foliage of indeterminate form. To the left a couple are silhouetted against the yellow glow of the shopping centre lights, which are also reflecting on the damp paving A silhouette of one of the windows of the old cathedral. No glass remains after the blitz, but the form survives well and the tracery of the windows is illuminated strongly from a light source inside the courtyard that now fills the old and now empty cathedral interior

A piece of #streetart in #coventry. One for @coolbikeart1.bsky.social I think.
A black outline painting of a bike against a multi coloured background (the colours are radiating out from the hub of the rear wheel) Some text in the front wheel reads JAMES STARLEY REVEALS A VISION OF LIFE ON TWO WHEELS THE PEOPLE ALIKE-CAN ALL RIDE A BIKE AND SOON WE'LL BE HEAD OVER HEELS JAMES STARLEY, INVENTOR 1830-1881. FATHER OF THE BICYCLE INDUSTRY

A rather impressive #Rainbow this morning on #Teesdale between Hamsterley and Woodland. If I say so myself, it's worth clicking on the image to see the full width of the rainbow
A full rainbow stretches across open moorland

@willdalrymple.bsky.social @anitaanand.bsky.social I think you'll need to do an @empirepoduk.bsky.social update to the Orwell series after you've seen this....

Listening out for ghost trains. On the old #Teesdale #Railway path at the Balder #Viaduct
Henry the Springador sits in the foreground looking slightly confused (as he often does) at the camera. Behind him the line of the railway crossing a viaduct lined with modern fencing curves to the left. The whole picture is in black and white

Having expressed his dismay at learning there are still a couple of #Teesdale #TrigPoint that he hasn't visited, we set out to correct one of those oversights

Second breakfast after a good walk to Grey Carrs trig point. I get the feeling I'm being watched

Handy of the Romans to build #HadriansWall right next to the A69. Easy to get to
The remains of Hadrian's Wall at Denton. The wall is a metre or two wide and 2 or 3 courses survive. The remains are right next to the dual carriageway A69

It's my final one of these posts for 2025 with pint no 85 delivered at the Newcastle Donor Centre but there will be more to come in 2026 (hopefully!). Until then you know the drill.

If you can, please do. www.blood.co.uk

Me (in selfie form), reclining on a bed in the donor centre half way through the session. My feet are in the air on the right hand side of them picture, wearing a pair of Adidas ZX500 trainers. In the distance, slightly out of focus, is a Christmas tree and some posters about giving blood

One for #TreeTuesday (I don't know if TreeTuesday is a thing but it sounds good(
A winter tree with just a few remaining leaves on the horizon with wet and dark skies contrasting the field it stands on. It's quite pretty

One from the recent snows of one of my favourite Teesdale views. In the foreground is Falcon Clints and the river Tees. Beyond is Meldon Hill, Great and Little Dun Fell, with Cross Fell on the right of skyline.

A snow scene with a craggy hillside of russet coloured moorland and dark crags, below a blue sky with lines of cloud. The overall scene is one of a wild remote landscape.
