Pasture near Skelton The pasture field has been infested with moles who have left plenty of molehills. Moles live in loose, easily diggable soil throughout Britain, from sea level to about 3000ft, but there are no moles in Ireland. They do not colonise poor mountain soil or acid, sandy soil because these contain few earthworms. Moles belong to the order of mammals called insectivores, and are related to hedgehogs. Molehills spoil lawns and sports grounds and reduce the value of pasture. They may also damage blades of cutting machines. In addition, moles rob the soil of earthworms. Farmers and gardeners are therefore their chief enemies. Other enemies include owls, foxes, dogs and cats. The mole's name is possibly a shortened form of 'mouldiwarp', a names still used in northern England, which is derived from Old English 'molde', meaning earth and 'werpen', meaning to throw. But how can they make the hills when the earth is as hard as iron.

Sheep grazing near Skelton These loving mothers are looking after their young as I lean over the fence to photograph them. The ewe furthest from the camera was stamping her feet as a warning, so that I would not go any closer.

Orgate Farm The approach to the farm along the bridleway from Marske. One wonders if the name has anything to do with the mining and transportation of lead ore [galena] which was mined nearby and once smelted at furnaces in the valley below.

Orgate Bridge The title refers to the footbridge over Marske Beck which is to the right, whilst the farm road crosses the beck by means of an 'Irish bridge' which becomes a ford when water levels are high.

Walled lane above Skelton This track is most likely still classed as a county road linking Skelton and Marske with Helwith. On the day the photograph was taken several 4X4 vehicles and trail bikers were seen using it, which raises the issue of erosion on such tracks.

Descending into the valley Nearing the bottom end of the track which runs across the hills from Helwith to Skelton. A sign at the bottom reads 'Unsuitable for motor vehicles', but as this is still most likely classed as a county road it is used by 4X4 vehicles etc.
