[@philipleyland920]

What a good video. I lived in Scarborough for 22 years left in year 2000. Still has the memories you captured yourself thank you.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to watch, much appreciated 👍

[@jeffallinson8089]

Fabulous video. I was fortunate enough to live in Scarborough in the early 80's and today its still my favourite place. Its lost many attractions, however its a town full of charm and character and this video does it justice. Thanks for a great video.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for your kind comments and for taking the time to watch :)

[@maevefagan7123]

Thank you Patrick for giving me the chance to see Scarborough again. I spent 3 happy holidays there with my children over 40 years ago and it was one of our favourite places. A bit bracing at times but the scenery and things to see make up for that.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you for watching Maeve. I've only ever been to Scarborough twice, last time was when I shot this in 2015 and before that was probably around 1974/75 when I was 9. Lovely seaside resort, a definite favourite :)

[@kathrynbrock1558]

I stayed in Scarborough last summer on the South Cliff. Absolutely loved it. I particularly liked walking in tbe Cliff gardens early in tbe morning. I conquered my fear of lifts in the cliff lift . I never used the bridge. I couldnt reach the castle, it was just too steep. The tourist seafront reminded me of Southend where I grew up, so I walked the bay and took the lift back up.The star map was fascinating. I so want to go back.

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

One of Britain's greatest sea-side resorts, I'd say, Patrick. I've always liked the town and it's headland with the castle and the two bays either side. There are plenty of attractions including the cliff tramway, and the town itself always has had some real good shops. I recall back in the day that there used to be a zoo near the North Bay, but whether it's still there or not I wouldn't know. Yes, I bet you were really pleased when you found the caravan site that you went to with your family when you were young. A very pleasant video to watch Patrick, many thanks, and let's hope that the place hasn't changed too much since 2015.

[@solitaryrambler]

I've only ever been to Scarborough 3 times in my life, and this was the last time. I always liked it when I visited. It was a real bonus finding that caravan site, brought back a lot of memories. Glad you enjoyed Ffranc, thanks for watching 👍

[@ericgeorge5483]

I am not kidding when I say this was an absolute joy to watch.Scarborough sells itself because its such a pretty place but your video emphasised this even more. I can't wait to visit my friends over there when this nightmare ends and its safer to do so. This video made me smile from ear to ear. Great job, thanks so much.

[@solitaryrambler]

Really delighted to know that my film was able to bring some joy for you. Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for taking the time to watch :)

I forgot to mention in my original comment how perfect the little piece of music is at 17:23 when you find the caravan park. It just fits the scene wonderfully. What a truly fabulous video. Thanks again.

Thanks for that Jeff, that's nice of you. I'm pleased you like that as it's one piece of music I'm particularly proud of. Thanks again for the kind comments :)

[@jeffallinson8089]

When covid is over you need to visit, it's a fabulous place.

[@pete7179]

One of my favourite films of the 47 I'v watched so far. Partly because of the memories I have of visiting this place,and partly because this is the lovliest music to any of your films. I'm glad you eventuality stopped putting credits to Bob Morgan and Martin Roy,you deserve all the credit Patrick,to anyone not in the know they are pseudonyms and Patrick does every single thing you see and hear,what a guy and what a talent. Pete.

[@solitaryrambler]

I'm pleased you find this one of your favourites Pete as it is also one of mine, for the same reasons you have mentioned here. I enjoyed filming in Scarborough because of my memories there, and as you have kindly said, I was also very pleased with my musical score on this one. Many thanks again :)

[@rontanser9369]

Very much enjoyed this nostalgic look back at Scarborough are used to go there as a young child with my parents and we always used to go to collies cosy camp on the North Bay now a small Housing estate

Hello Patrick, congratulations, you did a very nice and nostalgic movie. I was there in 1973 at 16, I passed marvelous holidays and I returned 3 times with my school. I keep in my memory some wonderful souvenirs. Bruno 62 now from PARIS

[@brucefleming208]

I recently discovered your channel via the truly excellent Wye Valley and Forest of Dean walks, so I can answer your question at 13:30. In the '70s, the road trip from Chepstow to Scarborough (where my maternal grandparents lived) was seldom less than seven hours. It was a long haul but so much to enjoy on arrival, like the Harbour Bar and Treewalk Wonderland in Peasholm Park.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks for your kind words and for watching. It's been 8 years since I've filmed this, so I had to remind myself of the question at 13:30. Thanks for that 👍

Excellent narration of your past experiences linked to Scarborough and caravan life. Lovely catchy soundtrack to hear for your film. Some faint memories of Scarborough link back to my days of entertaining as a vocalist in a summer resort there. Nice memories for you too of your family.

[@solitaryrambler]

Many thanks Shanita. This is actually one of my favourite soundtracks. So you sang at a resort in Scarborough? It was nice to return here and find the places I remembered as a child. Thanks for watching 👍

[@deaconpaulsandersonocds4103]

Great job. Very professional presentation of Scarborough. I enjoyed it very much. I was able to get back to Scarborough last year for the first time since I moved to Chicago 12 years ago. I can understand the nostalgia. I spent many a childhood holiday there. I have a special connection to the Brontes so it was great to see Anne mentioned too. Looking forward to watching more of your programs. They are better than anything on TV over here.

[@solitaryrambler]

Thank you so much Paul for the lovely comments! Glad you liked this video of Scarborough, one of my favourites actually. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Patrick :-)

[@jeffallinson8089]

Have to get my Scarborough fix as I can't visit my friends over there due to Covid and there's no better way to do it than by watching this fabulous video. All the memories of the place just come flooding back and the music is wonderful too. No wonder this is your most watched video Patrick and its my favourite by a mile.

[@solitaryrambler]

It's one of my favourites too and a lot of that is because I'm particularly pleased with the music I created for this. Great to know you enjoyed this Jeff and thanks as always for your kind words and for watching 😀

[@roeburnposse1662]

Thank you for making this video which I have only just discovered on You Tube. Brings back alot of happy memories as my family holidayed in Scarborough every year when I was growing up. I have an almost identical photograph of the Spa taken back in the early 70S. Glad you found the caravan park.

[@solitaryrambler]

Glad you enjoyed it and nice to know it brought back some memories for you. Yes I was very pleased to have found that caravan park! Many thanks for your kind comments and for taking the time to watch :)

[@frankfitzgerald5832]

I cant honestly say Patrick , that walking ever appealed to me i have been a postman for 22 years and it seemed a bit of a bus mans holiday thing to do but over the last couple of years i ve started to really enjoy getting out and about visiting places , enjoying the scenery and the history of places , each week end we try and get to somewhere different , only local granted but its not the diistance for me its just a case of spending time with Lee , capturing some wonderful memories for the future too , something to look back on mate ...Which when you think about it , is something your doing , youve created and are still creating a wonderful body of work ,to look back on , what a great legacy too Patrick , As for watching your films its our pleasure to catch up with your travels as you make them so enjoyable ...So Once agaiin thankyou for sharing ....

[@normanby100]

The perfect tonic for these shut-in days. Scarborough is just 15 miles from where I live and I miss being able to pop in for a day - mostly to watch the football team. As a morbid sideline, Valley Bridge is popular with suicides. Try some of the small market towns in the area like Malton and Pickering next time.

Well produced and a touching moment at the caravan site. Just an historical note: the German naval bombardment was during the First World War, in December 1914. The castle walls were hit, the lighthouse, St Mary's church and parts of the town, including the Grand Hotel. 17 civilians were killed.

Well Patrick ,again a excellent video , like you traveled down to Scarborough from Kilmarnock ,but in the 60s in my mini and back in a day with my pal Clarke those were the days ,and holiday's then and later in the 70s with my children when we were married " love Yorkshire " Just one point it was bombed in the First World War I believe not the Second World ( Probably then too )as did Whitby by German battle ships which i think are referring too . As we say in Scotland " Haste ye back"

At the end of each one I feel like retiring to the pub with you for a pint at the scene of your location,the sign of a great presenter. Thanks again and have a great 2019.

Thanks for giving this another viewing Pete. I never really understand why certain films of mine get more views than others, but no matter as it's certainly great to see the high figures especially when you reach 10k views. Glad you liked the music. This is one of my favourites actually. Sometimes I compose a theme and it's ok, but nothing special. However, with this I found I hit exactly the right notes (if you pardon the pun) and it just worked really well, luck more than anything really. Hope you had a wonderful time in Scarborough.
