Some years ago we took the caravan to Goathland,and stayed at a caravan site up a track next to the "Adensfield Arms".
While trying to get a better view of them filming i got a "rollocking" from a member of the local constabulary cos i was getting in the way of the cameras !
That part of Yorkshire is really scenic and well worth a visit,more so if you are a railway enthusiast as well. (swaps anoraks for a second. )
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Saved my life though, had just bought a new kevlar helmet that same week. Some would say by f8.
I'd have to rebuild my Bullet first, the timming gears are all out at the moment. Could we go by turbo-whippet instead and get it down to 1 and half hours
Always best to look after your helmet I find. I knocked myself out skating once not wearing a helmet, it was perfectly safe in the boot of my car oops.

oooh, yeah. We did the Pickering to Goathland Steam run. The kids were really young and got bored quickly and couldn't understand why Mum and I were so excited 'just to be on a train'....bah! Kids! That's part of the reason we're going back up again all these years later on our own this time so we can nose about and take our time looking around Goathland and all the other film sets...errr... I mean locations.
Last time I broke 2 ribs on a rollercoaster ride up there, oops again.
A work mate was up there last month, he bought me back an Aidensfield fridge magnet so obviously it mush exist in real-life even though youand Paul tell me it's a film set really
Dave the Bass Feel free, I enjoyed the ramble around Aidensfield LOL.
Well lads I bid on a really mint 401 today, Left my ebay account with 2 hours to go thinking I will get this at £455 it bloody sold for £700 I could not believe it.
I will take that as a word from above that I am actually destined for a 301.
Bugger me I am inundated with offers to go and listen to them too.
So in some sort of order:-
Toppsy... Thanks for trying for me, we are geographically so close that no doubt we will probably get to meet soon anyway, and I look forward to that.
Paul Barker... Scarborough is close enough, could you possibly give me a shout when you might have a working system and I would be delighted to call over.
Darren... as I am now pretty determined that a 301 and Slatedeck is the way I will be going subject to a satisfactory demo, I will no doubt be in contact with you and probably seeing you sooner rather than later.
Clive....I would really like to take you up on your offer for the afternoon of the The 18th Jan if thats possible. Could you possibly PM me with address details and a suitable arrival time.
Thanks again lads, I am quite overwhelmed with the response and offers of help.
To add to the above, that's why he gets such good prices. people trust him.
And they should, nice chap to deal with.
Ah ha, I have just this moment bought another 401, just been confirmed.
Sold as excellent if that interests?
I'll have to receive it first and check it over.
