Nice pictures and a bit of a coincidence, I've been quite on here the last few weeks as I've been moving into a house up in Loftus as I'm now working at the potash mine there. so just starting to appreciate the north york moors etc there is some beautiful places up here and glad that you hit on for the good weather as its been foul yesterday and today :P

We've previously snapped the MG at the sea front, but on Monday and Tuesday the front and prom were absolutely rammed!
From previously:

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Glad to hear you've got a job after the closure of your pit.

Is that the Boulby mine you're at?
Next time we're up visiting, we'll meet up for a beer! :broon:

I am guessing, from the angle of the horizon, that is where the British water skiing team practice... :whistle:

Ain't it funny, how time slips away...?

Did I not mention my superpowers?
Actually, one of my stiletto heels had just snapped, hence the angle. :yesnod:

Thanks, yes it is Boulby mine. fingers crossed its got a future lol. different world to coal mining though.

When your up next we could try to set up a mini meet :beer: and you could show us some of the nice places to drive through up here, theres loads of places for me to explore but I don't get paid for 5 weeks so its frustrating :P oh and its finally stopped raining here and the fog has lifted :woohoo:

If you fancy a nice short run, head for Castleton, then head for Hutton le Hole. This will take you on the route in our pics. Then head for Pickering for tray of fish and chips and a squint at the NY Moors Railway!

Boulby has been going yonks, and they are now producing poly halite for fertiliser.
Also some science stuff sited there for dark matter research!

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..
