Denise Sykes Hi Denise this is a great walk plenty of wildlife and plenty to see. The falls are spectacular. We are going down to the Cotswolds in the next hour to film a couple of walks. Thanks for all your comments. Regards John and Janice (The Taxi Driver)

Thank you oyeism, this is one of the first films we made and we still get a buzz out of the place when we go back. All the best The Taxi Driver

Thank you my friend. The only thing I couldn't enjoy was one of those pies! I am never going to be able to see this waterfall now. My metal knees are good, but not that good! I just couldn't walk that far. So thanks for your description, and for sharing your walk I really enjoyed it second-hand. Cheers, John; an old codger from Brum.

Hi Jazzwayze, nearly an old codger myself, 65 in August, but luckily i still have a bit of ware in me yet. This was a long day filming but the scenery was fantastic especially the falls. All the best The Taxi Driver

We got a couple of pies from the same butchers on our PW walk in '16. We'll get some more in July. Brilliant video commentary so much better and more entertaining than stupid music. Thanks a lot.

[@thetaxidriverj]

Thank you Ronnie, we always stop half way round for a cup of tea and a butcher's pie if we can find one. This is one of the early films. In the commentary we just try and describe what we see using landmarks to make it easy for people to follow. It is hard to believe our site is only a few days off a million views. Its comments like yours that encourages us to keep going. I am near retirement age in August but we hope to keep going a while longer. Enjoy your walk in July, the best time of year with all the wildlife. All the best The Taxi Driver

We too are old codgers. Me 3 score & 10 my brother 3 years less. Walked whole PW in '16, Up to Hawes in '17 when we were rained off and hope to complete it in July. We must sound like fitness freaks but we're not. Thanks for your good wishes. We will be lightweight wild camping! We too hope to keep going as long as we can.

THE NORTH OF ENGLAND - BILLINGHAM, DARLINGTON, MIDDLESBROUGH, NEWCASTLE, STOCKTON, YORK & YARM - NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY Most people living in the North of England think they know their neighbours and local history but how would you know your neighbour worked for MI6? Most who knew the Fairclough family didn’t have a clue that from the seventies Bill Fairclough was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. Bill's parents met during the Second World War when his father, ostensibly working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), worked secretly on creating bombs to wipe out the Nazi's industrial hinterland. They married in Yarm in 1941. After the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Dr Richard Alan Fairclough continued to work for British Intelligence (MI1). Not long after retiring from ICI in the seventies, Richard Fairclough opened and ran an antiquarian book shop business in Yarm until his death in 1987. The book shop was a bit of an enigma as it was also a haunt for spooks. When not gated at St Peter’s School, York Bill Fairclough spent most of his childhood and early teens in the North East of England. As a child in the fifties he was educated at Red House School in Norton. He lived in Billingham and then in a vast white house (once the home of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley) in Norton Green overlooking the duck pond. In Bill’s teens, the Faircloughs lived in Middleton St George and later in Yarm. He also lived in flats he rented near nightclubs he helped run during the late sixties and early seventies in Portrack, Stockton-on-Tees and Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne. Conveniently for him they were near the offices of the firm of Chartered Accountants he worked for in Middlesbrough and Newcastle upon Tyne. So if you lived, worked or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered this “spooky” family, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs! Details of where the Faircloughs lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974.
