Gunnerside to Danby Wiske 'Anyone who wanders on the moors soon finds himself in a graphic scene of industrial decay that simply cannot be passed unnoticed. Swaledale has a long history of mining - and that history has come to a full stop.' Yet all is not sadness as Wainwright takes Eric Robson to the typically English market town of Richmond then on to a public house to make good a rare inaccuracy in his famous guide book.

After a 12-year journey, NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft arrived at Neptune late last year.

Neptune's weather was unexpectedly active, with 1500-mile-an-hour winds.
Even odder was its planet-sized moon Triton. Voyager's images showed lakes of lavatory cleaner frozen as hard as steel, and a bright pink polar cap marked with curious black streaks.

Something unbelievably strange was happening on Triton. And when NASA's Dr Larry Soderblom uncovered Triton's secret, it was perhaps the greatest surprise of space exploration so far.
