Sunbiggin





Today we went in search of isolation on the splendid  Sunbiggin Moor, close to Sunbiggin Tarn  This limestone landscape nestling between the edges of the Yorkshire Dales, the Howgill fells and South Eastern Lake District is a beautiful, peaceful spot and yet comparatively close to the M6 snaking its way South to Lancashire.  Today we were treated to skylarks, kestrels, the odd stray sheep and complete solitude. As we dropped down to the lower levels of the moor, we also passed through a glorious wild flower meadow.  A perfect antidote and (prequel, it has to be said), to Olympic viewing
