THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

When the atmosphere is heavily charged with moisture they are sapphire blue, deepening in intensity when rain clouds roll their black masses along the flat summits.  Under these conditions only a grand succcession of bold curves outlined against a gloomy sky can be discerned.  Each great land-form – the cone of Roseberry Topping, the flat-topped Hasty Bank, the sugar-loafed shape of Cold Moor, the hog-backed sweep of Cranimoor  (Cringle Moor) – looms up yet larger as day wanes and dark shadows fall athwart its crags and slopes.
