North Yorkshire Moors
I have just arrived home from a lovely walk on the North Yorkshire Moors. In my group I was the ony one kilted. The weather was glorious, no wind and 25C.,
The tall obelisk is a memorial to Captain James Cook, the famous mariner, who went to school in nearby Great Ayton and who was brought up as a child at the nearby Aireyhome Farm. The "nose" shaped hill is a local land mark, known as Roseberry Topping.

Thank you for those photos. As a Kiwi (New Zealander) James Cook played an important part in the founding of my country as he was the first to explore and chart the coasts.

Though he was born in Yorkshire, Captain Cook's father was Scottish.

very nice..Jame Cook was pretty famous here too, he discovered the east coast of Australia before he went to kiwiland!
Why am I not surprised you were the only one in your group kilted!! We are pioneers, lads, discovering and re-discovering new frontiers, maybe a little like the captain himself!

That Captain Cook gets around. I was in Tahiti about a year ago . . . he'd already been there. We go to Fletcher's Restaurant in the Captain Cook Hotel here in Anchorage all the time, and we're just a stone's throw from Cook Inlet, also named for the captain.
Nice pics
