Field path towards Bonnie Hill Farm One might reasonably ask 'what footpath?', but the line of it is through this recently planted crop field, so walkers might expect plenty of mud adhering to boots.

Farm road heading towards trig point The purpose of the road is obviously not to visit the trig point but it's heading that way. The road, also the route of a public footpath, descends to cross a stream and continues to come to a tree. The pillar can just be detected a little to the right of that tree - a tiny white feature embedded in the hedge.

Rough grazing on north side of Ingleby Greenhow Road The road is on the far side of the hedge bounding the small field. So rough is the field that it might not be in use at all, even for grazing.

Crop in field with parked tractor The crop is assumed to be some form of grain. The barn is at Bonny Hill. A public footpath runs alongside the hedge; it wasn't followed as to have used it there would have entailed, earlier, marching straight across a growing crop in order to adhere to the path line. The path had not been reinstated!

Barns at Beck House These three barns at the farm all have an appearance of a level decrepitude but curiously, decay and ruination do provide attractive subjects for photography.
