The Roseberry Topping is a well-known landmark in Teesside and parts of North Yorkshire - in fact, the northern edge of the North York Moors National park is here. It gained its distinctive shape courtesy of mining activities in the area, which made the rock collapse and giving it a jagged edge. it is easily climbed in less than a an hour, or the more daring are known to mountainbike there as well.

This is taken on a mountainbike trip, one of the rare occasions where I haul along a backpack with a proper camera, a Nikon D80 in this case, and hope for punctures in the cycling party which give me plenty of photographic oppportunities and dawdling time.
