View from Sutton Bank today

View from The Cleveland Way Path above Sutton Bank

Thursday 2nd July 2015

Today I was doing my volunteering bit with the Cleveland Way Volunteers. We covered the section of Cleveland Way path from the National Park Visitor Centre at Sutton Bank south for nearly one mile towards Roulston Scar. We were strimming the rosebay willow herb and long grasses that were obscuring the view points and making it more 'user friendly' around the many seats beside the path. The weather was very warm and changeable, at lunch time we had spots of rain. Once we had finished, I got my camera and decided to take a panorama view (four images stitched together) of my outlook for most of the day. By now, the sky was looking more like rain and the sun had disappeared. There is Roulston Scar on the left, with Hood Hill (covered in trees) on the right of that. The A170 road is to the right of centre and on the extreme right, Lake Gormire. The Vale of York stretches out in front with the Pennines in the far distance. There is so much to be seen in the distance on a clear day and with binoculars.
