The Yorkshire Dales on film

[Mark G]

Sorry, missed that thread. Reading it now and I see it was 1976 or 77, if it was 76 I was there - not racing but walking around the route on race day, it made quite am impression on me at the time.

Just watched it on iplayer. Would it be too embarrassing to admit that seeing Hannah at the end brought a tear to my eye What a fantastic lady, shows how pampered most of us are and how a lack of money doesn't mean a lack of happiness.

Makes me prouds to live in the Dales. What a fantastic place to live....not that I didn't know that anyway, nice to be reminded sometimes though! :thumbup:

No it wouldn't be!

However, it's usually the "Daddy, My Daddy!!" scene in the (original) 'The Railway Children' film that gets me welling up

True, a world apart

She's still around, as this thread on 'Secret Leeds' (a superb 'forum') shows

Really good - could have watched it for hours.

Bit worried to find out that the 3Ps is the 'most tortuous fell race known to man'.

Artistic license I think (either that or I'm a much better fell runner then I thought)

Ah, but which man? Certainly not one who knows anything about fell races.

On May 1st I will start to describe it thus.
