Dear All In my last blog entry, I was just about to leave Newcastle, after four full days of wonderful explorations around there. I was bound on the Wednesday morning for my next destination: the North York Moors National Park. I was excited. I planned to do my journey there in two stages, to be able to stop off in Middlesbrough along the way, and explore this little known northern industrial ci... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

I really love reading your blogs from northern England
I love England and now that it doesn't seem like I'll be going there any time soon it is really great to read about the places you went to. Thanks for writing about it. There are some really interesting places you've been to. Like you I also enjoy going to places that don't see many visitors. That makies your blogs especially intersting as they take me to places I know little of and never read about elsewhere. /Ake

Thank you!
Wow, thank you for your really nice comment Ake! It's almost like I could say exactly word for word about me reading your blogs on Sweden! I love your country too, and enjoyed very much your last on exploring the unexplored parts of Sweden. Perhaps there is some good to have come out of this whole situation - the appreciation of our own backyards. All the best, Ake ?

The Moors
When I hear the Moors it makes me think of the movie, "An American Werewolf in London" which I enjoyed. We've seen little of England but have loved every moment we've been there. We have spent time in London and Rye. Thanks for introducing us to places we need to go. Please let the world open up. Your questions are valid but I like the looks of the transporter bridge. I love that you and your trusty sword are traveling the country! Does anyone ask about it? Sorry you hit some crowds but glad you enjoyed the farmhouse. I remember the first time I milked a cow. It is an education. So happy you are enjoying being on the road again.

The Moors
Ah yes, there are plenty of moorlands in England. I often think of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "Wuthering Heights" in such places. I feel they are quintessential English wilderness areas, and love being in them. I do also hope the world opens up soon, I would also like to visit many places you are visiting in the States... The sword was always kept in its cardboard box on my journey, so not too many questions there fortunately...! It was nice to travel England with a sword though, I'm sure like the olden days...! The crowds were manageable, and fortunately only in Whitby. The farmhouse was wonderful, though I didn't get to milk a cow - I bet that was an experience for you :D Thanks for your lovely comment as always, Merry :D

Gateway to the Moors
Not really sure how you are able to see so much walking and using public transport, but you are to be congratulated! I loved the vintage looking travel poster from Middlesbrough. Your experience staying at a farm B&B was really interesting too and I hope you enjoyed reading the bought you bought from the family about their farming experience. I'm sure it takes so much hard work to keep a dairy working and profitable these days, so having guests at their B&B must be a nice addition to their livelihood.

Gateway to the Moors
Yes, I love these vintage tourism posters too, I think they hark back to a golden era of travel. Thank you for your lovely comment! I love travelling by public transport and walking, it helps me to get a really intimate view into a place. The farming book is very interesting, and I too wondered how hard it must be to keep a dairy farm going and profitable nowadays. I loved my stay in the farmhouse :)

The Crowds!
Beautiful area Alex, and very interesting blog. The Whitby Abbey is just lovely, I often enjoy more ruined structures than intact ones - they are so evocative. Robins Hood Bay looks SO cute! But the crowded Whitby streets, OMG! I haven't been in crowds like that in well over a year, and don't expect to for quite awhile yet. We are still quite locked down where I am. I'm enjoying catching up on your blogs :)

Crowds
Thank you for your lovely comment Lori ? Indeed, there were crowds in Whitby. This was last summer though, and I imagine the crowds are less now. I agree, ruined abbeys and castles are just wonderful, and echo the past beautifully. I do hope things ease up for you in Canada soon. Things are easing up here at the moment. Thank you for reading my blog, and hopefully you'll be travelling and writing again soon too ?
