Storm Arwen Nails Mast on Endeavour Replica

Reports came in over the weekend from both The Real Whitby facebook group + The Whitby Gazette that the mast on the replica of the HM Bark Endeavour got nailed during stormy high winds over the weekend.


Owners of the replica vessel have reportedly secured it with steel cables until they can fix it properly.

This particular version of the Endeavour was originally located on the waterfront at Stockton-on-Tees before being sold and moved to Whitby in 2018 as part of the “Cook 250” celebration.

Scarborough Council to Waste Money on Electric Vehicles

According to the Whitby Gazette website, Scarborough Borough Council apparently plans to convert more of it’s vehicles to expensive and hopeless electric things after councillors have been duped into going along with the “climate emergency” nonsense that’s a total scam (Whitby Gazette similarly blissfully ignorant).

To understand why this move is a waste of time, check out this video playlist exposing the nonsense…..

Mission Impossible Movie Being Filmed on the NYMR

Word has reached me via YouTube that they’re filming scenes for the latest Mission Impossible movie on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.

A video was put on YouTube of one of a pair of Class 66 Diesel Locomotives being shifted from York to the popular Yorkshire-based heritage railway by road after a landslip knackered any hope of sending the locomotive by rail on the track that links Middlesbrough to Whitby.

Haven’t seen anything about it elsewhere yet.

Update: Just got confirmation via ITV’s Twitter feed for the regional news…..

  • Yorkshire Links page
  • Yorkshire Tourism Website
  • Whitby Website
  • Whitby Piers Website
