Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack.........

Well theym up bright and early for them (8.30). and an hour later we're on the road to Pickering where the North Yorkshire Railway starts. To get the most of the journey he's devised a plan, gawd help her! I am parked up at the site weme stopping at for the night alongside the railway and they am biking down to the station and tekking the bikes on the train. The Moorside special goes to Grosmont and they plan to cycle one station back to Goathland, thus seeing the two villages and the iconic stations. So off they go and on the way he checks out the OS map cycle route thinking the paths and roads follow the train track ie level. But what's this he's found, the road gus up un down like a whores draws (as the saying gus). Even wiv them posh electric bikes hers avin none of it, so time for plan B. The nice woman in the booking office says they can stop at Goathland for an hour and then hop on the Whitby special to Grosmont then 90mins later back to Pickering. So the bikes get a ride on 3 trains and not used.... brilliant. Goathland station and village are used in Harry Potter films and Heartbeat the sixties programme. Very nice apparently and Grosmont has engine sheds and a pub so he was appy sides! Back at Pickering and the sun is out and so are the knats and mozzies by the streams, so inside the van a bit early with me flyscreens down.Read more
