Great video mate, pics I have not seen before. As for the music, AWESOME!! Where Eagles Dare is my fave film and soundtrack, fitted well with vid.

All that was missing was a JU 52-3m flying at the camera!! lol

@admiraldma Cheers mate strange but this vid is banned in Germany because of the sound track.

@jers59 You got away with it then!Sheep Shagger sounds like a Welsh beer,will have to try it some time,most real ale is not good at travelling give it a rest in the fridge for a few days to get the best out of it.Hope you enjoyed your trip,sounds like you did.

@elswick1542 Just came home, never made it to North Umberton stayed at Loch Lomond, then to Loch Ness for 2 days and Inverness and Cumberton battlefield, nice ride up the highlands along the 82 , saw the fried mars bars avoided them along with Haggis they have scottish beer I purchased at cumberton called sheep shaggers, back to work on 23

@jers59 Also avoid the other famous delicacy deep fried Mars bars in batter(I kid you not).Try Bulmers Cider availible in most bars in pint bottles,drink it in a pint glass half full of ice.

Just back from Melrose in the borders Belhaven 80 shiling Ale is first class.

@elswick1542 good video on Victorious called HMS Victorious 1 of 2 seems to be from early 1960,s or late 50,s, back to arguing on 16 inch gun training video.

@elswick1542 Continued

I agree about organised religion stopped believing in that bull about the same time as the tooth fairy,father xmas etc I find the 9/11 conspiracy lot repellent,even Oswald's half brother thinks he shot Kennedy but I have a particular and extreme dislike for those that claim some of my earliest memories are a lie,Apollo.

@jers59 Good pubs in all the smaller rural towns villages such as Alnwick,Hexham,Warkworth stay clear of the post industrial places in the south such as Ashington.My personal fav is the Prince of Wales at the fish quay Tynemouth very good traditional pub with Samuel Smiths beer from £1.54 pint(any UK pub run by this brewery appeals to those of Scots decent)Roman remains and Medieval castles,wet,windy,sparse populated.

@elswick1542 I do not believe in UFO,s, loch Ness monster, organized religion, big foot, kennedy assination conspiracy, 9/11 conspiracy. I visited siberia in 1996 on trip to Russia when russian bankers had the most dangerous job in the world what are some good pubs in Northumberland? PS why do scots wear kilts? Because sheep can hear zippers, Im part irish, and scot one half loves to drink the other half does not want to pay, also some welsh and english, just typical mutt
