Just found this disk from a holiday I had three years ago, beer and boots. It's an organised drinking and walking holiday in the Yorkshire Dales. I went with my friends Pete and Anne. Enjoy!:)

Just joking with ya - people have gone there before now, but cos of it being their own 'studio', think it got blocked so that others can't get to the actors now.

Yeah, good ol' W & G. I used to enjoy that. :D

I'd like to go one day - only to be nosey and to watch. It intrigues me. I bet the place they have there isn't as big as it looks though eh?

Anyway, those are great pics you have taken. :)

I think he'd already died by then but that's Last of the Summer wine, dude.;)

Oh a couple of things to mention - the biggest waterfall in those pictures, that's the biggest waterfall in England! Pathetic, I know but it's ours!:D

The reason I have a black eye in these pictures is because I sustained it a week before on my way home from working at a beer festival. I was walking past a club where some guy was beating the shit out of a woman. I stopped him and that's what I got for my troubles. Oh, and guess what? The Police "lost" the CCTV evidence so no one got done despite the fact I have a permanently pushed in cheek bone from the incident!:smiley24:

That waterfall is like one in Devon - that's high too. Maybe they don't know about the one there, but I have seen it. ;)

Didn't notice a black eye, but glad you stopped that bloke anyway. :)

From wikipedia...


Hardraw Force (OS grid ref: SD869917) is a waterfall on the Hardraw Beck in a wooded ravine just outside the hamlet of Hardraw at the foot of Buttertubs Pass and the head of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. The Pennine Way long distance footpath passes close by.
Comprising a single drop of 100 feet from a rocky overhang, Hardraw Force is claimed to be England's highest unbroken waterfall – at least discounting underground falls. (The underground waterfall inside nearby Gaping Gill on the western flank of Ingleborough has an unbroken fall of over 300 feet.)
The falls were used as a location in the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in the scene where Maid Marian catches Robin Hood bathing under a waterfall.
Access behind the falls is now prohibited. Public viewing of Hardraw Force is rather unusual, as the visitor has to go through the bar of the Green Dragon Inn public house in Hardraw to reach the falls; an entrance fee is payable on the way through the pub. It is currently £2 per adult. Hardraw Force is the setting for a brass band competition held annually on the second Sunday in September. The competition was first held in the falls' natural amphitheatre in 1884 when six bands took part; the competition lapsed in 1927 but was revived in 1976 and has gone from strength to strength since. In recent years two other musical events have started up at the falls: the Hawdraw Bash is a Folk Rock concert in early July and the Hardraw Gathering is a three-day festival of traditional music at the end of July.



Learn something new every day! Never knew they filmed Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves there!
