Long Way Down ...

The view from Sutton Bank looking west towards Thirsk.

Created from 10 separate images stitched together in Photoshop, a technique I'm still experimenting with, but I think this one works okay.

For those that may not be familiar with this Yorkshire landmark, Sutton Bank (also known as Roulston Scar) is in the Hambleton District of the North York Moors National Park.

The A170 road runs nearby with a maximum gradient of 1 in 4 (25%), and including a hairpin bend. Not surprisingly then vehicles have to keep in low gear whist travelling up or down the bank and caravans are banned from using this section of the road.

At the foot of Sutton Bank lies the little village of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe, which at 27 letters long has (according to Wikipedia) the longest hyphenated place name in England.


For the Sight and Sound group, what else, but Dire Straits ...
