Well, this was supposed to be a "Hike up Hood Hill" organised by the North York Moors National Park. Trouble is, I have no sense of direction... so you wouldn't think it could get any worse in thick fog... but it did and, even though I set off in plenty of time to allow for getting lost and the pea-souper fog, I arrived far too late at the Visitors/Information Centre (to make my apologies for being late!!). I ended up doing this little walk along Sutton Bank instead. Don't be fooled by the blue sky... it's still foggy. There's some very steep steps down to the White Horse Car Park (ice cream van in-situ though :) ) and another steep climb further along, back up onto the top. Definitely exercises the old heart-muscle!
Strangely enough, I couldn't see the white horse which is carved into the hillside due to the fog!
