The best bits are not necessarily around the edges though. There is certainly a lot of that map I wouldnt bother with. Do they think this is the new NC500?

You wont be allowed in. No funny foreigners of any kind and that includes people from Lancashire, Scotlandshire and anywhere else really.

No as the title Yorkshire 600

I suspect its a similar marketing ploy though is what I meant.

Not good Alf, strange that the donkey should do that, low oil or not changed, pump shaft broke or driving slow which clogs the oilways, hope you get sorted soon and dont worry about cost as you dont get to take it with you.

Hi Alf, I replied to your message. Caledonia, can you perhaps advise Alf if he furnishes you with further information of his VW T5 dilemma, as you are the man in my book for all things VW.

Cheers.

Which reminds me of a 'discussion' that was going on in the office. Three lads, one from Birmingham, one from Coventry, and one from Yorkshire where arguing over who was a 'Northerner', when one of the 'Jims' called across, "you're all southern sassenachs", this was in Kirkcaldy.
So for me it's 'oop north', for you it's somewhere down south were the sassenachs live.

They obviously don't know Yorkshire very well if they think that the Tees enters the sea at Saltburn.

I have actually seen and spoke to two Yorkshire members off here and once we all spoke slower and used lots of hand gestures we did manage to communicate

I only read the link in the OP, and it says;
"Before reaching Filey, follow the Tees from Holwick to Saltburn ".

Its a great idea but Im going to nitpick again as I have nothing better to do.

All those places at the top of the map are in County Durham. Some of them about about 25 miles into Durham and Teesdale. Its confusing though as where I live is south of the Tees and historically would be part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. The actual official county line however is now well south of the Tees in many places so Durham and Teesdale has slowly crept into and taken over parts of North Yorkshire over the years. Despite me having a Richmond North Yorkshire address the Yorkshire border is at the bottom end (south) of our village so we and all those places north of us are officially in Durham County in Teesdale. Its caused a lot of controversy over the years with signs being moved or mischievously "Altered".

Having said that Teesdale is absolutely stunning so dont miss it out if you do the trip.
