As I was poised with camera in hand waiting for an owl sighting I realised that someone was happily grazing not far away in the back paddock.

Lovely evening in Scarborough. This chap was using our car as a vantage point for spotting any fish and chip opportunities.

Local walk

09/05/2025

Todays bike ride included a visit to the Dalby Forest Dry Stone Wall Maze. A work in progress but well worth a visit even now.
Once complete, the maze will be the largest of its kind in the world at 80 x 80 metres, with over 4,000 tonnes of regional stone being used in its construction.
The finished maze will consist of 4 inner circular walls, encased by 5 square walls to create a labyrinth to navigate through. Interesting features are being added, including the fabulous smout holes - designed to let sheep through but not people.

Some of the fabulous features to be found along the beautiful sheltered beach at Runswick Bay. A great place for fossil hunting too.
