So much for the Indian Summer the tabloids were headlining on Sunday for this week. A dull evening, losing light rapidly but the heather still adds a bit of colour. A gentle reminder that autumn is just around the corner.

The Cleveland Hills are full of nabs. Rocky crags of Jurassic sandstone overlying softer mudstone and shales. Turkey Nab probably derives from the local name for grouse: ‘wild turkeys’. An old beacon site offering splendid views over the Tees Valley. Such views would not have been appreciated by William Parkingson who, in 1729, became the last man to be hanged at Turkey Nab. For murder. Thereafter Sir William Foulis, 8th Baronet of Ingleby Manor, had the gallows removed.
