  2. Hagg’s Gate, Clay Bank or Whatever it’s Called This Week

  4. Ingleby Bank woods — where two bodies were found hidden

    Looking down on Hagg's Gate from the crest of Cushat Hill.

    Hagg's Gate and Cushat Hill, names no one uses nowadays. Ingleby Bank, on the other hand, is a name that has roaming issues. The O.S. map claims it's the slope of that ridge on the other side of the vale of Greenhow. But it's a name which, I suspect, probably also gets used for the wo ...

  6. Ah, the joys of heather burning season

    It's the delightful season of heather burning, and I found myself on Hasty Bank, the perfect vantage point to witness the breathtaking spectacle of over a dozen smoke columns gracefully dancing across a vast 180° panorama of the North York Moors, stretching from Gisborough Moor to the majestic Black Hambleton. In the photo above, these particular ...

  8. Local Governance Quagmires: Who Pays for Road Repairs?

    One might think that our modern roads just magically appeared, but let's cast our gaze upon the B1257, the stretch that runs between Stokesley and Helmsley, for a tale of twists and turns.

    First, let's scale Cushat Hill to Clay Bank, which, back in the day, used to be known as Hagg's Gate. Then, it takes a descent down Hasty ...

  10. The Crags of White Hill: Evidence of a 1872 Landslip

    A brisk autumn morning but with a subtle nip in the roriferous air, though the temperature would soon be rising. A warm day beckoned.

    Meanwhile, 377,000 kilometres away, the moon hangs in the morning sky, as is often the case during its waning gibbous phase, when it transitions from full to half. Down below on earth, White Hi ...
