Many thanks for sharing that, it was great!
I remember when you drove through the quarry there were two arches that you drove under, one for each direction the traffic was going.
I don't remember the arches being that high but maybe they were as I saw this in your film....

I remember the Drinkalls from Skipton auction and possibly Bingley too from when I went there with an old family friend called Wilson McNally.
Here's a funny tale.
Wilson, after being told I was passing through Bingley that afternoon, asked me to pick up a couple of calves he'd purchased over the phone.
I though nothing of it, having done it before. I would pop the rear end of the calf in an old feed sack (to prevent any possible mess) and put it on the back seat of the car.
I arrived at Bingley auction and was told "they're in there, lad" by the bloke in charge.
My jaw must have almost hit the ground when I saw these 2 "calves". They were huge, no way their back ends were going into a feed sack.
Somehow or other, after removing the back seat from my old Mark 2 Cortina, I managed to get them both into the back of the car and drive them back to Mack's place in Earby. I remember thinking "I hope neither of these calves turns around and coughs". The result would have been, shall we say, a little messy.
I was also concerned about getting pulled over by the cops and trying to explain why I had these very large beasts in the back of my car. I had visions of getting arrested for rustling or something.
Just one of those funny colourful things that happen in your life...
