Osmotherley Youth Hostel trip

For this years trip I hired out the youth hostel at Osmotherley.  It was an excellent hostel with good facilities  and we had 41 people there.  The weather was dry, cold but foggy.  There's plenty of walking opportunities on the North Yorkshire Moors.

My walk took in the three hills on the top of the map and ended in Carlton

Two groups went off walking on Saturday.  I was with the smaller group that went to tackle some of the higher hills on the moor's northern rim.  (The other group of 30 walked directly from the hostel and took in the local priory). 

First stop was to view the well preserved AA sign in Broughton

Round Hill (454 meters) - first Marilyn and trig of the day.

One of the more unusual footwear styles I've seen worn on the hills.

The Wain Stones - wasn't expecting to stumble across a scene like this in the fog.
