A day out in Saltaire, checking routes for the 2nd Edition of West Yorkshire Woods II. I'm always surprised how much has changed in a few years, but not the beauty of this area #milnerfieldappreciationsociety

A remarkable - and meticulous - achievement by @chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social , four books covering the entire England Coast Path, walking (and mapping, and illustrating) 2700 miles. The books themselves are a delight as well as a guide gritstonecoop.co.uk/news/the-coa...

Late autumn in Marsden, researching West Yorkshire Woods part 3. Even where the map shows few trees, it is amazing what this county throws up at every turn!

Drawing the white voids at an art workshop at Marsden Walking Festival. Trying to think differently how to look at the things around us and portray them on paper was a great experience.

A deserted Skara Brae just before they shut up for the day. As fine a series of small walls as you'll see anywhere.

A beautiful but suitably wild day on the Outrun on the west coast of Orkney.

A very sketchy way down to Hummersea Beach on the Cleveland coast. Rotten wooden steps and a rope lead to a narrow metal ladder leading down the cliff.

The start of the Yorkshire Coast Path in Middlesbrough by the wall of the former saltworks and in the lee of the Transporter Bridge.

Hornsea Mere from the earthworks of the abandoned medieval village at Southorpe.

Christopher Goddard @chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Coastal erosion in action between Hornsea and Mappleton as the field edge the farmer must have ploughed just a few weeks back has already collapsed, along with the coast path alongside it.

Skipsea Castle mound, an artificial hill created in the 12th century in the middle of what was once Skipsea Mere. An extraordinary work. #eastriding #yorkshirecoast

The crumbling faces of the East Yorkshire coast near Aldbrough make for a beautiful walk on a section of the England Coast Path due to open this summer.

🧵 if you're wondering where I find out about these historic spots, I use @chrisgoddardmap.bsky.social 's illustrated route guidebooks. He includes lots of rich historical details that aren't always mentioned on OS maps.

Hayburn Wyke waterfall in full force yesterday. The whole beach was a stream and the angry roar of the waves competed with that of the waterfall to create an otherworldly din.

The sandstone pillar on Lebberston Cliff near Cayton Bay has collapsed. I was going to give it a name too in my book, but I guess that's why it didn't have one. Any features on this coastline are too temporary to gain real traction!
