Cycling across the North York Moors, warning: Purple Heather Intensive

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:

















I waas too tired for photos later, so forgot to click the wainstones formation.

Is that Wreaks lane that runs from Grewelthorpe to Lofthouse?

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

wow i love moorlands in bloom with purple heather. My local moorland seems to be lacking it more and more...cause the chavs brought railway weeds seeds stuck to their shoes 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

Good pics there mate, the weather must have been better there than it was here on Sunday
