I don’t know where that phrase comes from but I do like it. The snow has now lost its magic, just the skeleton left. The compacted snow on the paths and tracks are lethal.
Another familiar feature today for the main photo, the WW2 control bunker associated with the bombing decoy designed to deflect enemy bombing from the industrial Teesside. This is one of several on the moors, and over two hundred nationally, that operated under the codename ‘Starfish‘. I’ve written about this one before, see here and here. It is estimated that over 900 tons of ordnance were dropped on the decoys nationwide but from what I have heard nothing actually fell on this one on Great Ayton Moor. In the distance is Highcliff Nab.
