In Search Of Snow - Whitby To Blakey Ridge - North York Moors National Park

Published 2024-02-08
Today I went in search of snow. All week long, the forecast for today was giving snow, so I wasn't going to let the day pass without at least trying to find the snow I had been promised.

    The last time I was on those moors in winter was probably around 1970. A friend and myself were attempting a winter traverse of the Lyke Wake Walk from west to east. We were supposed to meet our support car at "Young Ralph´s Cross" on the Blakey Ridge road We were then planning to continue for a short distance on the Rosedale Abbey road before carrying on east along the moors path toward Fylingdales Moor. When we got to Ralph´s Cross the Rosedale road was blocked by at least a ten foot barrier of snow across it left by the snow plough. No support car to be seen. We eventually located it and my wife in the Lion Inn car park. We terminated the attempted walk at that point. I had a VW Beetle in those days, great traction in those conditions but had to be gentle with braking and steering Where I live now in Slovenia by law you have to fit snow tyres from November to end March so everyone has two sets of wheels and tyres. Our local garage has a fitting, clean and storage service which saves the hassle of swapping wheels over.
