Nowt to do with food.... 
Today, I decided to try out my new-to-me camera and take some pics - so with that in mind, i headed out to the Moors of Yorkshire (not somewhere I've been for a while) and specifically to Fryup Dale
Near Thirsk, I found somewhere with a Scottish flair, in its heritage
Onwards up other Boltby Bank and towards Rosedale, for a spot of lunch, in the most excellent 'Graze on the Green' http://www.rosedalecoffeeshop.co.uk/about-us/
There were a few remnants on the green, from last week's Tour de Yorkshire
North Yorkshire Moors have some stunning valleys, created millions of years ago by glaciers and also some bleak uplands, many of which are littered with stone crosses, used by travellers of a bygone era to lead them over these parts
Today's choice of bike
Fryup Dale - we're here, simply stunning
Near Lealholm I came across this packhorse bridge, which was part constructed from sandstone, which was a bit strange as we're a long way from the sea, so the stone was brought here, instead of using the stone around and about
Another stone cross, above Rosedale
Looking down on Rosedale
I then rode over to Lowna, to take in one of my favourite views
Obviously I'm not the only one who thinks it's special
Dropping off the Moors, I cut through Welburn towards Slingsby, to have a look at Castle Howard, one of Yorkshire's most stunning private stately homes
Finally a field of OSR, in full bloom which provides a backdrop to the view to the Moors in the far distance, from whence I came
More camera practice needed though, methinks
