August 4, 2022,Ealingham Rigg and Shitlington Crags

Beautiful walk from site across Ealingham Rigg, the bare rolling hills south of Bellingham. Through meadows without a marked path and over intensely quiet grasslands and moors. The beautiful clouds created a magnificent play of shadows over the landscape.
