Coast to Coast Panoramas – #1 Dent Fell
During the early stages (through the Lake District) of the Coast to Coast walk I took a range of photos to form some complete and partial panoramas.
In some cases the weather was not great, but in all cases the scenery was fantastic – with a dramatic landscape of tall fells and low valleys.
Stoats alive!
While visiting my parents a family of stoats passed through the garden. They moved quickly, though I managed to get a few photos of them using a Canon Eos 350D – it was point, shoot and keep my fingers crossed. Out of a dozen or so shots I managed to get about 10 usable images – though they are cropped to 800×600 from 3456×2304. Those extra pixels came in handy!
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Heading south from Sunderland I popped in to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, a place I had been meaning to visit for years.
I managed to spend almost the whole day there wandering around the park, gardens and galleries – below are pictures of just a few of the sculptures I liked, including quite a few by Andy Goldsworthy. There was a special exhibition of his, which was just fantastic, in the various gallery spaces – which unfortunatly did not allow cameras inside :-(

Here are a few pictures, keep a lookout for Douglas… Continue reading
Day 15 Littlebeck to Robin Hood’s Bay
The final stage into Robin Hood’s Bay on the final day. At just 12 miles I hoped I could get there in time for lunch and a celebratory cream tea.
Within 5 minutes of setting off, and with the B&B still in sight, the sky went black and it began to hail. Not the perfect start to the day, but it did not last long and the weather improved slowly all day.
