SD9794 : Bleak moorland

taken 17 years ago, near to Crackpot, North Yorkshire, England

Bleak moorland
Bleak moorland
This is a hard-won geograph. It is the top of the moor between Wensleydale and Swaledale. There are no roads or paths in this featureless grid square but it has been designated "open access" land so you are free to walk where you wish. It is extremely tiring walking through springy heather cross cut by many little water channels and boggy patches since you continually have to watch where you are putting your feet.

The hill in the distance is Blea Barf.
