    Default Been Out Again

    Hi Guys

    Been a bit quite recently, will explain another time.

    Been over today to the Captain Cooks Monument on Gribdale moor. Out for nearly 3 hours with Black Dog Faye. I knackered and so is the dog, but no sure for how long, seems to have tireless energy.

    A few photo’s of the trip, you can see smoggy O’ll Teesside in the background in one.

    Roseberry Topping



    Captain Cook's Monument -Close Up. The 2 herberts in front of the monument didn't seem to want to get out of the way.

    Ah yes... know it well

    Spent may years being a 'menace' on the roads round there.

    I'm 'baby sitting' a Porsche for a month ATM... took it out earlier. Ahem, I'm still a fucking menace!

    BTW, for anyone interested, that hill in the middle photo is called 'Roseberry Topping'.

    I can also imagine you being a "menace" in those bushes in the last pic. Jumping out from behind them flashing your 'wee winky' at girls passing by...

    Hehehe... Didn't realise that I'd 'left my mark' in that part of the world

    Nice pics, Andy. How about some ones of the area just as it's beginning to get dark next time? I like landscapes when the light is fading...
