More pictures from Tuesday's walk in The East Riding of Yorkshire. I am particularly pleased with the photo shown above. It's very simple. I am standing near Barmston Main Drain looking back towards Barmston. The quality of light and associated colours speak clearly of the month of June. Can you see how the land rises near the woods - to the left of the path through the wheat field? That's Trusey Hill - a place where Vikings were buried. Viking invasions began around 800AD and their control of eastern England lasted for two hundred and fifty years.
The picture below was taken from the village of Barmston looking north towards Hamilton Hill.
Below, back on Ulrome Sands. This image shows the crumbly nature of boulder clay cliffs. No wonder there's no vegetation there. It just doesn't have time to get established before more stormy waves chew upon the coast.
I saw this cow parsley growing on the cliff edge above Barmston Sands.
Close by, I spotted this concrete pillbox in a field of barley. It will be a few years yet before coastal erosion causes this one to plunge to the beach as it is set back fifty or sixty yards from the cliff edge.
