Today we went touring Eskdale, east of our location taking in Grosmont, Egton Bridge, Danby, Castleton, Westerdale, Rosedale then back to Whitby, stopping at Hole of Horcum (more of that later). We intended stopping at the Moors Centre but dogs weren't allowed so we voted with our wheels and took our custom elsewhere!The weather was absolutely fantastic with constant sunshine and so little wind that we had our packed lunch on Danby Beacon, 
probably the highest point for miles.
Our route was chosen by Di taking in many roads marked with arrows on the map indicating steep gradients. We found very many 1 in 4's and a few 1 in 3's on the very narrow minor roads but on the plus side there was very little traffic and fantastic views!
On the way back we passed the Hole of Horcum, a natural depression about a mile across, see http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/holeofhorcum.htm I took some photos and we indulged in an ice cream. Photos coming later..... please come back!
