I traveled to Yorkshire to see stage 3 of the #TourDeYorkshire from Bridlington to Scarborough. My film begins at the start of the stage in a very wet Bridlington where we see the teams preparing the bikes for the race and a rather random sea (or shoud that be land ?) Captain and his first mate. The action continues in the picturesque village of Hackness where the riders face a steep hairpin climb before reaching the finish line on a dramatically stormy Scarborough seafront. The Tour of Yorkshire is a 4 day professional cycle race taking in all 4 corners of the English county, featuring professional riders from various international teams, The race itself speeds it`s way through some of Britain`s most beautiful countryside and takes in 150 villages, towns and cities along its entire route.

My video features 70000 Britannia as it steams through the spectacular natural landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and across the Ribblehead Viaduct the longest and most famous viaduct on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. The Viaduct will be instantly recognisable to fans of the Harry Potter films as being part of the route taken by the Hogwarts Express from London to the famous wizarding School. My location afforded me a opportunity to use a single shot to show the engines full approach before passing me and continuing into the Blea Moor Tunnel the longest tunnel on the Settle-Carlisle Line.
