Yorkshire Break part1

On the weekend of Halloween, we had arranged to go and visit North Yorkshire for two or three days. Of course this meant that I missed the 'End of Season' run yet again. Sorry guys! On arrival up in Yorkshire after a trouble free journey, I decided that we had time and sufficient light to have a drive up the Whitby Road from Pickering, where we were staying. As a railway lover I just insisted that we have a drive around and see what was happening. It was a Autumn Steam Gala week, so several locomotives were in steam including 'Sir Nigel Gresley' a A4 Pacific.

'Sir Nigel Gresley' leaves Goathland for Levisham and Pickering on Thursday 28th October.

All those who watch 'Heartbeat', hands up! You may just recognise these next pics.

The Aidensfield Arms.

The Aidensfield Stores.

On Friday 29th October we visited Scarborough, it was a grey, blustery day and some of the fleet were in harbour.

This stern trawler was effecting some repairs and the nets also needed attention.

Later on in the day we visited Bridlington, what a dump!

Please do not ever visit Bridlington, it really is the poor relation to Scarborough. It is so run down. The quality of the shops is poor, those that were open of course! I was so disappointed and needed to get out quick.
