And with an eye on our carbon footprint, were in an all electric revamp of an iconic british motor. On this weeks show im travelling the width of englands biggest county, north yorkshire. Home of seaside treats. You know somethings really Good when youre sucking as hard as you can and you just cant get anything out. Uphill climbs. Made that look easy, guys perfect how you doing, guys . And the warmest, friendliest people you could hope to meet. Say hello hello laughs. North yorkshires coastline is stunning. Long sandy beaches studded with old fishing villages. All on the edge of one of the countrys great national parks. Peace and quiet and beauty is what attracts people here, but thats not where im starting. There she is scarbados jaunty Brass Band Music plays. Glinting in the sunshine. Scarborough is the uks oldest beach resort. This is where you come if youre looking for the proper old School Seaside traditions. Got the Ice Cream parlours, the slot machines, Got the beach, the sea, the smell of fish and chips out the window. After a week in scotland, the Electric Van is still holding up well, and getting a lot of love here on the south bay. How you doing, guys . You all right . Yes, really Good, really Good. Were travelling around scarborough and yorkshire. Take care oh, its you off the telly how are you . Im all right, you . Yeah, Good, Good. Were filming for the travel show, youre actually on camera. Come here, look, look say hello hello laughs. Scarborough is also home to the countrys oldest funicular train company. Scarborough has Got, lets call it a mixed reputation these days. But it used to be properly posh. Back in the 17th century, Mineral Springs were discovered in the cliffs so people used to come here for the healthy waters, and it is still incredibly popular. In fact, more holidaymakers visit the Yorkshire Coast than anywhere else in the country outside london. Most of the businesses on the seafront had a rocky old 2020. But this year, the hotels are already well booked all the way through to october. Its a Golden opportunity to make up for all that lost time. Morning, all right if i Go in . Thank you if its seaside traditions youre after, this is the place to be. The Harbour Bar has been in scarborough for 75 years. These days, like all of us, its doing its best to follow the covid guidelines, with customers kept safely in the fresh air. Im looking for your biggest, most extravagant and spectacular Ice Cream. Yeah . Ill make a Knickerbocker Glory for you, then. Is that the one . Its flashy, and tasty . Yeah. You know somethings really Good when youre sucking as hard as you can and you just cant get anything out. Its ridiculous. The shops been open since the end of the second world war. Julian started working here when he was 12, and he is the third generation of his family to make and sell Ice Cream in scarborough. Wed done 75 years, so we celebrated at the beginning of august. A small Family Party and a few staff. And thats about all we could do. It was sad, because children have grown up on our stools, and then theyve come back as adults and theyve brought their children. I think there will be a lot of people flocking to places like scarborough all over the uk. Yeah. Do you think scarboroughs ready, do you think yorkshires ready for it . Scarborough will fill up, the hotels, boarding houses, theyre getting busy, you can see a lot more people walking around. And the staff seem to be getting a lift, because they have stuck it out, weve tried. How confident are you about the future . Very confident, yeah. I think scarborough. Scarborough will do well, theresa and i have been talking about starting a family. Laughs. Whats in these Knickerbocker Glorys . Is it something in these . Theresa, you hear that . Idid, yes i thinkjulian said twins. Another Trick Scarborough has up its sleeve is its surroundings. It lies right on the edge of the north Yorkshire Moors national park. 20 minutes from the beachfront, and youre driving through all this. The Poxy Weatherjust makes it all the more atmospheric. So im on my way to a place that has become a real attraction in these parts. Youll have seen it on the big screens in the Harry Potter movies, and in fact, only last month, Tom Cruise was here shooting his latest Mission Impossible film. As i arrive, the north York Moors railway has only been open a couple of days after months of lockdown. Hey, come on im on are you aid. Ade youre famous im not that famous its really nice to be on this train. When it shut down, one of the consequences was not only did it impact the passengers, but all the staff that work on this line. I was speaking to the stationmaster, and he travels 100 miles to work on this line, and hes a volunteer, he does it for free. So its just. It makes it feel even more special that its back up and running again. We need this, they all need this. It takes £7 million a year to keep this running. You put it here . Marvellous. And when you come Face To face with the guys trying to keep the wheels on the rails, you really understand the colossal effort, and expense. So i just light the flare, and what i want you to do is just have a look inside that hole inside the boiler there, and just make sure there is no lumps of scale and sludge, and make sure all the passageways are nice and clear. Mate, it seems all clear in there, i think theres something, some brown stuff on the left, on the left hand side. We have to do this every 28 days, to wash the boiler out, and theres nearly 50 of these plugs on the engine. 50 and we have Got to remove each plug, wash out, we have to check inside with the flare and fit them all back nice and tightly. Having talked about the amount of maintenance you have to do, what was it then like for you to have to close all these stations down because of lockdown . It was a challenge, but we put out a Marketing Appeal Online for donations to help us keep us Going during the pandemic, we also did a Silent Auction where people could enter and bid to come out and have lunch with me on the diner, and stuff like that. Nice yeah, yeah, yeah, people pay for that, thats cool. Things like that were incredibly important to keep us Going. And how long do you think you would have been able to keep Going, keeping this place mothballed without any visitors . Probably not much longer, to be honest. There was a few moments when you sit there and you are watching the news and you are like, you are just uncertain about whats Going on in the world, but youve Got to be positive, i am a pint half, full kind of guy. We knew we would get back to this and survive it. It is an hours drive to our next destination, a city that has been spending a lot of time and effort thanking its lockdown heroes. There it is, york. Around 8. 5 million people came here on a trip pre lockdown, and that supported around 2a,000 jobs, which was a lot of livelihoods that were thrown up in the air when the shutters came down. But what i really love about york is the fuss they have made about all the people that have kept us Going during lockdown. This exhibit at the national Railway Museum celebrates the guys that kept the railways running last year. But theres more. These murals form a City Centre Trail to honour the local heroes who went to extremes to help out their community. Julias cafe is bustling these days, and were complying with its strict covid measures, but last year when the pandemic hit, it was forced to close. So instead of turning up to work and knocking out the breakfasts, she had an idea. Tell me about the Supper Collective, then. We quickly started to worry and think about some of our locals, our regulars, and how they were Going to manage. And quite quickly we realised there was Going to be a need for people to get meals, that were isolated and vulnerable. So we just started doing some meals, and it sort of very quickly snowballed, lots of people came on board with us, and we were delivering food to people that were vulnerable, isolated, all over york. Restaurants from across the city Got involved, from Pizza Joints to chocolate emporiums, and julia was right at the heart of it. Julia, tell me about this artwork that is Going on here. Oh, yeah, its incredible. They basically wanted to celebrate all the people that had done things for the community, so me and steve had our photograph taken, and it has been kind of like graffitied. It is great, an amazing picture. And it represents the Supper Collective, all the people that helped. Then we have ones like an a E Doctor and we have people who have worked in boots the chemist, really on the frontline through a difficult time, who carried on working, and put themselves, some people, obviously at risk. The Supper Collective has scaled back its activities slightly to try and encourage people back out of their homes. But deliveries are still taking place to some of the most isolated and vulnerable. The next leg of myjourney continues west, deep into the great expanse of wilderness that is the yorkshire dales. So i had a Good scan of the maps that youll find online that shows you where all the Charge Points are. And out here it wasnt that great. In york there were loads of Charge Points, it was really Good. So my advice would be, before you leave the cities, make sure you have a full charge on your battery as you head out into the countryside. This beautiful landscape is getting more popular all the time. Especially among people who would have Gone abroad until the pandemic. In fact, the Park Authority estimates that in the first three months of lockdown, 70 of visitors had never been here before. Somewhere around here should be the Mountain Rescue Team who are keeping all the newbies like myself safe. I can see some dogs in this direction. Dog barks. Mountain Rescue Search dogs turns 50 this year. The teams are made up of volunteers who help search for walkers and climbers who get lost or injured. Dog barks. Who have we Got here . This is gus. Hello, gus. Search dog gus. Hey, search dog gus, how are you . He is excited. How long has gus been doing this for . Actually, gus has been training for four years, and because of covid has onlyjust, what we call graded. He has onlyjust become operational. So i can only use him for real in the last three week. The last three weeks so he is a newbie. He is a newbie. Well done, gus, well done. How do they work and how do you train them . Basically they are playing hide and seek. They work for a toy. And when we are training, we call them dogsbodies, where people who Go out and hide and have the toy, and the dog is literally hunting for its toy. The scent is the important thing. Yeah, they are air scenting. We all give off a scent, and the scent is picked up by the wind, and we use the wind and we run the dog and its nose through the wind, and when it picks up a Human Scent it will follow that to the person and come back and tell us by barking and then take us back to the person missing. The team has kindly agreed to show me how it all works. And they tell me in the nicest possible way to get lost. So we are Going to send you out. You have Got all serious here, dave, all serious. Im worried now. We are Going to take you out up that hill with two other bodies who are dave and simon over your shoulder. Here we Go. And were Going to send the dogs to find you. How long have you given us . We will give you half an hour� s start. Half an hour start look at that over there lets Go. Wait for me looks like a little bit of a cave behind you. I have Got you. I need a shove up. Made that look easy. Perfect. All right, i have schlepped up to this little spot, found a hiding place. I will try and camouflage myself amongst these rocks. Dog barks. There he is. The dog. He hasnt seen me yet. Laughter. Here he comes. Here he comes yeah. He is coming over towards me. Hello, hello, ive been found ive been found well done. Oh, yes you ready . Go thats a reward. That was Good. That ok for you . Yeah, really Good. Well done. What a brilliant job. Found me yeah, she found you in a very quick space of time. A lot of people wont be able to Go abroad now, so more people will be hiking around the dales and around the uk, so will that bring added problems for you, do you think . Yeah, to a certain extent, people with little or no knowledge of what they are doing, lets get out onto the open fell and have a walk in trainers or flip flops. No, you will not get people out. Yeah, seriously. Two years aGo kaz had a find in the middle of the night on the moors for a chap wearing flip flops. Yep. Have you Got any tips yourself that we can give to the viewers if they are Going out on a trek round the dales . Tell someone where you are Going, pack the right kit, have the right footwear, and have a Good idea of what you are Going to visit. Look at a map, read a guidebook, find out what is out there to locate, to have a look around. It is important to enjoy yourself in safety. My final stop in the dales is more than 1,200 feet above sea level. But nevertheless, 300 Million years aGo this entire area was covered by a shallow sea. Which means the limestone beneath me is riddled with all kinds of interesting things. Stump cross caverns is a popular and long Standing Family Attraction here. From this point you descend into tunnels and chambers discovered by lead miners about 160 years aGo. But theres one issue with exploring caves its not all that accessible. Bloody hell. Blooming helmet. Dont worry. Ill stay down. As soon as you get through here youll be all right. Thats the hardest bit. Lisa, tell me about these caves. So the caves are older than the dinosaurs, and they used to be near the equator, near africa, and it was a warm, tropical, shallow sea. So the limestone is made up of all the Dead Sea plants, and we have found loads of animals here as well, Ice Age animals, so there is a wolverine, reindeer, bison, woolly mammoth. The Work Lisa has put into trying to keep this place open is astonishing. First she raffled off her prized Camper Van. We had a beautiful Camper Van that was absolutely stunning, and my life dream. And so we actually raised money and we gave my Camper Van away. You gave your Camper Van away this is like your dream Camper Van. Yeah. And now she is raffling off her own flat. If you hadnt been able to raise money by selling your Camper Van or crowdfunding for it and your flat, what would have happened . We would have shut. Desperate times. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Today lisa will finally reopen her doors to paying customers. There are just a few minutes to Go until the big moment. Fantastic. Step back and soak that in. Look at it. Yes. We made it we are open ready, lisa let me count you down. Absolutely five, four, three, two, one yes were open first visitors. Look at this. Come on in. You must be marie. Lam. And two people for the caves . Yes, please. Fantastic, if you want to come over to drjohn, and he will give you a briefing. Thank you so much and have a fabulous time. Its just such a relief. We just want to keep this place Going and our wonderful team, also be here for the people. Its the people who saved us. And we want to be here for them. So it is just an overwhelming relief, really. Well done i would give you a hug but were now allowed to. Elbow, there you Go. There you Go. Two elbows. You know what . I think ill leave her to it right now. She has a busy old time ahead. Im so pleased for her what a relief, she has had her first visitors. But you know what has really blown me away is lisas resilience and her positivity. And what ive noticed throughout my time up here, to coin a cliche, is that true Yorkshire Grit and Community Spirit which has helped them get through some pretty dark days. Fair play to them. Horn beeps. The next leg of ourjourney across the uk sees lucy in the van exploring the cities, mountains, and countryside of wales, making new friends and hurtling herself off cliff edges along the way. The South East of england has had a Deluge Of Rain Over the past few days, a wet month already. North East Hampshire have had 81 millimetres of rain for the month so far. Compares with age an average of 48 millimetres. These areas have all had more rain then we would normally expect, and the majority has arrived over the last few days.

Behind that feature, it will be much Brighterfor Scotland and northern Ireland Tomorrow with more in the way of sunshine, but in the south we have some rain on the cards. That rain probably turning heavier, different across Southern Coastal Council of england, but some uncertainty about how far north that band of rain will push. I think across parts of East Anglia and the south midlands it is they might see rain rather than a definitely will. For tuesday, rain rather than a definitely will. Fortuesday, Ridge Rain rather than a definitely will. For tuesday, Ridge Of High Pressure bills and for much of the uk. A quieter weather day, any wrinkling away from the cycles quickly. Into the afternoon, after the right stance on the Northern Ireland we will seek out they can hear and rain will seek out they can hear and rain will arrive quite late in the day.
