Whitby
and the North York Moors Spring 2004 Day 4 |
|
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 5 | ||
Excitement indeed today - a 4 mile steam train ride from Grosmont to Goathland, followed by a walk via the spectacular Falling Foss waterfall back to Grosmont. | ||
The locomotive pulls our train into the station, cameras clicking everywhere. | ||
Videos too. | ||
Walkers are all aboard for their ride UP the valley, our leader was not born yesterday! | ||
We disembark at Goathland ... | ||
... and Brian steps it out with Olivia ... | ||
We consolidate near Goathland Church. | ||
Off we go across the moorland. | ||
A typical scene. We leave the moor and descend into... | ||
... a rocky river gorge, where it is a challenge for everyone to find a safe route. | ||
You tak the high road, and I'll tak the low road ... | ||
A delightful spot for a picnic lunch. | ||
We reach our target, Falling Foss waterfall, about 60 feet in height. | ||
Too big for one photo. | ||
Steady now! | ||
The going gets easier as we make our way down the valley ... | ||
... following the course of an abandoned railway route, all the way back to Grosmont ... | ||
... where we obtain an excellent view of the station, and the pollution emitting from the locomotives! | ||
