Went out on the mountainbike Sunday evening and took a few pics of the heather and hills, so for those of you who live too far away:

Is that Wreaks lane that runs from Grewelthorpe to Lofthouse?

[Tim in Belgium]

No, that's in the Dales (and starts about 2k from my Dad's house).

It was the top of the Cleveland hills, part of the North York Moors, looking across to Urra Moor and Cold Moor

[Luckypants]

No, that's in the Dales

Well that is what I thought, but some folks lump the two together. apologies for implying you may be such a numpty :oops:

wow i love moorlands in bloom with purple heather:cool:. My local moorland seems to be lacking it more and more...cause the chavs brought railway weeds seeds stuck to their shoes:smt108 and its slowly either strangling it or taking over. Shame as theres a lot of other rare flowers up there and birds too....not just the lesser spotted Dizzy either;)
