Welcome to Tuesday's Look North. Tonight's headlines. Counting the | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
cost. Councils reveal that the bill for repairing recent flood damage | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
will run into millions. 6 Caravan shock. A nasty surprise for this | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
woman when she tries to sell her mobile home back to the holiday | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
park. The bone collector, the teenagers who discovered an ancient | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
skeleton while playing in sand dunes. And branching out. Why a | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
heritage railway wants to raise cash to join the main line. In | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
sport, how the weekend's derby will help footballer Robbie Elliott get | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
through his marathon charity bike ride through Europe. And the | :00:38. | :00:48. | |

Aussies hit Yorkshire for six in It is three weeks since a wet start | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
to autumn led to extensive flooding in the North East and Yorkshire. | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
Road and rail links were hit. Some property owner will be out of their | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
home for months. The cost is starting to be calculated. In North | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Yorkshire alone the council estimates the repair bill stands at | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
�3 million. Richard Thomas is in Scorton tonight. One of a number of | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
communities badly affected? Well, in is Scorton beck, which son the | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
outskirts of the village. It is quite swollen because there has | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
been a bit of rain this will flow into the River Swale. It is not the | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
water that is the problem. It is the bridge which spans it. There is | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
evidence everywhere of emergency repair work being undertaken. Three | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
weeks' ago on the night of the floods part of the foundations were | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
washed away and a hole appeared in the road which crosss over the top | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
of the bredge, so the council have put an emergency bridge in to allow | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
cars to don't use it there is evidence of the police tape that | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
was put across the public footpath to deter pedestrians from crossing | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
the water so high were the levels. Three weeks on and one of the main | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
routes through Scorton is still not repaired T water washed away part | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
of the bridge's structure. It made a huge hole in the sur tais, | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
despite a temporary road over the torpbgs it has made village life | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
difficult. -- surface. For the first three or four days, village | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
life was affected a great deal. This is the main link between | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Teesside and Cleveland, and and the west, which of course leads to the | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
A1, but that the time the A1 itself was closed for I believe it was | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
three days, for about 40 miles. miles away in Gilling West, they | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
are clearing up too. More than 20 people here are still not in their | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
homes. 16 of them from this nursing home. The whole episode has left | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the villagers feeling vulnerable. What everybody wants is some action | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
to be taken. As I see it all we can do is to go to the various | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
authorities, and organisations and say "This is what we want." Please | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
help and that is support materially and financially. So if we can get | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
those two, then the villagers are prepared to go and dig the river | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
out, but it it still need money. Now the the immediate threat is | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
gone, the talk turns to money. And who will foot the bill. It will | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
seem that the County Council might well have to foot the bill, and of | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
course, the budget is under pressure not only from high ways | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
but all sorts of services which we provide, and of course, within high | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
ways, there are constant pressures and one of these is that we are | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
catching up on two-years of pothole damage, and that is still a battle | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
we are having to fight. And of course at this stage, the three | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
million repair bill is only a conservative estimate. This bridge | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
alone will cost �600,000 to repair. That is a fifth of the total budget. | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
And the longer the repairs take to do, the more it will cost. But this | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
is just one County. If we include the flood damage in Teesside, | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
Tyneside and Northumberland, then �3 million is a drop in the ocean. | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
So what about these other areas then? What are the local councils | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
saying? Well, they are yet to calculate last month the flooding | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
cost them. We know North Yorkshire put a figure of �3 million but two | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
councils are given us the flooding estimate damage for just one day, | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
in the summer. Go back to June 28th, thunder Thursday. South Tyne siend | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
and Newcastle council say that day cost them �12 million in damages. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
Morpeth in Northumberland was badly flood damaged last month. The | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
council say it has cost them �200,000 but the big releasers were | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
the people of Newburn, where people haved that to leave their homes, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
they won't be able to go back because the houses will be | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
:05:15. | :05:16. | ||
demolished shortly. The future of the Friarage Hospital at | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
Northallerton is being discussed in London. Anne McIntosh raised the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
issue of North Yorkshire hospitals with the new Health Minister Dr | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
Daniel Poulter T Friarage which op could be replaced with a short stay | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
paediatric assessment unit and a midwife-led maternity service. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Police in Carlisle are continuing to question six people after a | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Polish man was stabbed to death outside his home. Piotr Kulinski, a | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
factory worker, was pronounced dead in the cul-de-sac where he lived. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Magistrates have given detectives extra time to question five men and | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
one woman in connection with his death. Now she thought she had | :05:59. | :06:05. | |
bought the perfect holiday home. �10,000 for a static caravan on the | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
coast. But Louise Baines from Anfield plain was then diagnosed | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
with cancer and the treatment she is about to start means it will be | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
a long while before she can get to the caravan. So, she decided to | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
sell it back to the caravan park, and was offered just �500. We have | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
been on the case today, and tonight, there is a happier ending. Our | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
chief reporter has the story. It's a five-star site and it is not | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
surprising. Play areas, bar, restaurant, gym, it has got its own | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
swimming pool, which is why Louise Baines wanted a caravan there, for | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
her and husband Lewis, their three- year-old daughter and baby lie yon, | :06:45. | :06:53. | |
so off they went to amble Links and spent �10,000 on this 14 years old, | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
but simply perfect. Until some shock news. I was diagnosed with | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
breast cancer on September 13th. And the nurse said it is going to | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
be a hard year. My treatment and things which starts next Friday, so | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
but I am staying positive, and we just knew if it was going to be a | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
hard year, she said, I said we had a caravan and thing, and with it | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
being an hour to get there, so maybe better off being at home and | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
things, so it was going to be a year wasted. I thought we might as | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
well sell it. Shock number two, the park said it wouldn't want to try | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
to sell on a caravan more than ten years old, and she was offered �500. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
For a caravan bought just a year earlier. Spotted the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
inconsistencies, if you can't normally sell your caravan here | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
once it gets beyond ten years why was Louise sold a caravan that was | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
already 14 years? The answer? It is the recession. Not so much money | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
about these days, say the park owners Park Leisure, they say that | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
perswaifded them to make the odd exception and they say offered �500 | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
later increased to �1500 that is all they were offered. But this | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
afternoon they took Look North they will sit down again with Louise and | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
because she is a special case, they will be offering �6-7,000. Louise | :08:21. | :08:29. | |
said she looks forward to that and Lee yon seems fairly content too. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
You can find out what people are saying about this on our Facebook | :08:32. | :08:41. | |
page. Red flashing light t a a level cross, they mean stop of | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
course, not everyone thinks that applies to them. Every year there | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
are near misses and worse as drivers take risks, now the Nexus | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
have installed red light cameras at another crossing to try to put a | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
stop to it. Will that work? We have all seen them but pictures like | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
these, not to mention people being killed aren't enough to stop the | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
chancers, now they are hoping that cameras that snap your number plate | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
might be this is Kingston Park, one of the busiest level crossings on | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
the Metro network. We reckon about once a week on average, at one of | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
our five level crossings, somebody is distracted or stupid enough not | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
to stop at a red light. It isn't complicated A red light means one | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
thing, in Kingston Park or Kathmandu, and that is stop. Of | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
course we have had red light cameras on our roads for many years, | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
so if people are so keen to take a chance, is this going to be enough | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
of a deterrent? Come to think of it, isn't it time you went the whole | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
hog and put barriers in? It is difficult to justify that for a | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
publicly funded network like this. If it saves a life what kuz the | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
money matter? Matters because it has to come out of our council tax | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
and you would still have people jumping over the barrier, trying to | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
force them Opus Dei. You might think I am making it up, people | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
have used their cars as battering rams. If commonsense isn't enough | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
three points and a fine might be. On the other hand there has been a | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
camera down the line aticaler on the parkway for more than four year, | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
this year alone there have been nearly 200 prosecutions there. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
People take unnecessary risks, that is why we are getting people to | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
think twice, and this should act as a deterrent. Sometimes it's a split | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
second decision people are making. It is important they think long and | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
hard before they put people's lives in danger. A remote Cumbrian | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
village that was without mains electricity for ten months has been | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
connected. Wasdale Head one of the last places to be connected back in | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
1977. The underwater cable that brought their electricity to the | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
area voted Britain's favourite view went wrong on Christmas Eve 2011. | :11:10. | :11:20. | |
:11:20. | :11:22. | ||
But today its replacement began working. Peace at last T generators | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
that gave Wasdale Head power for the past ten months were finally | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
switched off. The mains electricity was reconnected to the small West | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Cumbrian community. When the electricity fist went off we were | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
told we would be back on mains by Easter. And then that turned into | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
June, that turned into August, and then that turned into today. So we | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
just -- we are just happy it is here. To walk outside and hear the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
nature of as oppose to the hum is lovely. The power went off on | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Christmas Eve, a fault with the cable below the waterline proved | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
impossible to fix. The first generators brought into the area | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
were noisy and unreliable, and had to be replaced. Then, an attempt to | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
put another cable under the only road there failed in the summer, | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
because the frowned was too hard., So over the past few weeks a new | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
cable has been laid, back in the lake. A we spoke cable designed for | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
us for this project. It is 1600 metres long. It's a continuous link. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
There no joints and that is normally the weak point of an | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
electricity network, so we are confident this will stand the test | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
of test and provide power for many years to come. If there was a fault | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
would we be back in this situation again? We would need to replace the | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
cable, but I must stress, the actual likelihood of a fault on | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
this cable is low. An underwater cable brought mains electricity to | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
Wasdale Head for the first time in 1977. Today that same method is not | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
:13:08. | :13:09. | ||
only reconnected them, but restored tranquillity. Millions of pound | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
could pour into the North Yorkshire economy if a he tadge railway can | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
raise cash to extend its route. The Wensleydale Railway wants to allow | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
East Coast Mainline passengers to use it. If the money can be found, | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
the Wensleydale Railway claims businesses along the line will feel | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
the benefit. Our business correspondent reports. The start of | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
a new round of fundraising on the Wensleydale Railway. It wants to | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
find �2 million issues shares, but alongside that it need cash to tap | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
into passengers, from the East Coast Mainline. We have launched a | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
campaign called going places which is apt, because we are going places, | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
we intend to re-open the stretch to Northallerton, we are trying to | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
raise �250,000 to complete the extension we are working on to give | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
us passenger access to Northallerton. For the this family | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
from Ipswich the line is so enchanting they would be willing | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
investors. Think in a small way I would, but I support lots of other | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
thing, so it is difficult to do everything, isn't it, but yeah, I | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
think I would, and I would love to volunteer in something hike this. | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
think you would probably get from local people any way a lot of | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
support, because obviously, there is quite an interest in revialing | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
or keeping going some of the Railtracks. The railway already | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
carries 35,000 passengers a year, and puts �3 million into the local | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
economy. If the line can be extended, it will be more. Marcus | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
knows the value to his nursery business, of Wensleydale Railway | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
passengers. At least 10% of the business comes from the train | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
station, they get on at Leeming Bar and the train stops here at dinner | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
time for half an hour, so they don't have long to walk up into | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
Leyburn so they will have a look round. Theest smait with the line | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
running to Northallerton an extra 6,000 passengers a year would use | :15:19. | :15:27. | |
the trains. Business in this part of North Yorkshire can't wait. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
Plenty more to come, including only the best for these hand fed chicks, | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
in the hope that they will end up looks like their handsome a -- | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
adult versions. Wet and windy weather brought scenes like this to | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
some parts, and with more rain on the way I will have your full | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
forecast. A group of young friend have been talking about the moment | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
they dug up a prehistoric human skeleton, as they played near sand | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
dunes, the teenagers unearthed two leg bones, part of a pel vi, a rib | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
cage, spine, and a jaw bone in the dunes round criminal don deefpblt - | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
- pelvis. Police initially investigated the find and | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
archaeologists say they believe they uncovered a burial site which | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
could be several thousand years old. Just take a look at this. This | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
pelvic bone is thousands and thousands of years old, experts | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
believe it could have belonged to a teenager, a table boy perhaps. Let | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
us have a chat to some of the school-children who found it. Who | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
found it first? What did you think? I didn't know what to think at | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
first, I just thought, wow, but it was like basically looking at a | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
ghost from the past. Were you scared? I was really scared stkpwh. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
What did you see? I saw the rib cage and the spine and I touched | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
the rib cage and I shouted out, I just touched the ribs. The whole | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
cage was poking out from under the sand? Yes. I heard one of you found | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
a kneecap, who was that? Me. What did you do with it? I swimmed it | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
across the see sea. You skimmed a prehistoric relic across the sea. | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
Yes. I you thought it was a stone. Yes Do you regret that now. Yes, | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Thank you for talking to us, here you are, a few metres away from, | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
few hundred metres from the sea over there, close to Hartlepool, is | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
it unusual Rachel Graham, you are a local archaeologist to find bones | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
like this, so close to the seaside? It is unusual. It happens very | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
occasionally, but this is a rare find, yes. Now what do you know | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
about this skeleton from what you have been able to see already? | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
the moment, we think it's a prehistoric burial, that is mainly | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
based on the position of the body crouched, on its side that. Is a | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
typical prehistoric position for burial. We know it is probably a | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
teenage boy na, is really all we know at the moment. We have no find | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
to give us any dating stkpwh. Did the children do a good job, have | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
they been able to help you? We wouldn't have found it if it hadn't | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
been for them exploring, and it is an exciting find for the area. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
us have a chat to a police officer from Cleveland Police. What was | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
running through your mind? We were concerned when you find some bones | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
in a sand dune, but having talking to an archaeologist it was | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
established we were dealing with ancient bones. Thank you for | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
speaking to us. There we are, more dones bones like this are being | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
tested. Let us hope in the future they will be put on display so | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
people can find out more about the local history in Teesside. Those | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
kids will talk about that for a long time to come. Five Chilean | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
flamingo chicks are being hand reared at Washington Wetlands | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
Centre. They arrived in the centre and just over a month ago the first | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
birds hatched. By then it was too risky to allow them to be parent | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
reared, due to the colder weather and lack of sunlight. That is where | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
aviculture expert Owen Joiner stepped in. Let us get you some | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
lunch. Today Owen mimics a flamingo parent with the latest arrival who | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
is just four days old. It is a lot of work, say it lot of work. When | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
they are little it is two or three hours through the day and night | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
they need syringe fed and parents feed the chicks beak to beak. It | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
has been a lot of sleepless nights. They hope the boost the flock long- | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
term. It will get our flock up over 40, which will give them the | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
confidence to hopefully breed. They have bred well for the last few | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
years in terms of dancing and nest building and breeding but they | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
haven't seen it through. Next year the young ones will join the | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
existing flock. By putting them in with adults the adults will assume | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
they produced them last year, so it will give them a false pride in | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
their work, if you like. You need fed. Good stuff. At four days and | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
four weeks old they ant showing any signs of turning pink but they soon | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
will. They are pink because what they eat. As they digest the | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
plankton they absorb the colour from the shrimp. When the feathers | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
get made they can push it into the feathers. So they are quite | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
talented. The Joyce of parenting. - - joys of parenting. Poor things | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
coming here from chilly, can you imagine to our summer. It is chill | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
-- Coming here from Chile. Alan Pardew could be without striker | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
Shola Ameobi during the African cup of naiing sh he will hang on to | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Demba Ba and Papisse Cisse after seven tkpal were disqualified. But | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Nigeria say they hope to persuade Shola Ameobi to represent the | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
country of his birth. He has played for England Under-21s, but hasn't | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
featured for the senior team and was cleared by FIFA to switch | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
nationality. With nine Sunderland players away on international duty | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
the build up to the Wear-Tyne derby will be a short affair. Most won't | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
be back from the World Cup qualifiers until Thursday, for the | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
players who have remained on Wearside like Jack Colback it has | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
been a quiet week without the hype that usually accompany -- | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
accompanies the big gape. It is difficult with the break because | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
you lose half the team. There is only ten of us left. It is | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
unfortunate that the way that game has been put in the fixture list, | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
it is after this international break but it's the same for them, | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
and we get the rest of the lads back on Thursday and we will look | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
towards the game. Now, it's a build one a difference to the Wear-Tyne | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
derby for Robbie Elliott this year, the former Newcastle and Sunderland | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
player will listen to the match on the radio as he cycles thousands of | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
miles through Europe for charity. He will stop off at all the clubs | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
Sir Bobby Robson managed and it starts off at Sporting Lisbon's | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
Estadio Jose Alvalade. Biking for bobby, Robbie Elliott says it will | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
be his toughest channel yet. Over 3,000 miles in less than four weeks, | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
starting in Lisbon, passing through Porto then on to Barcelona. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Eindhoven. Fulham Westminsterly stadium and Ipswich, before ending | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
James' Park. A physical challenge and a mental one too. I am sure | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
mentally, my playing career has help me with that, the big breaks | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
in the football. The main thing is the family members I have lost and | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
Sir bobby, that will drive me through the hard times of the ride. | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
Cycling round 150 miles a day Robbie and Phil Grey have gone | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
serious lengths to improve their ier row dynamics and the difficult | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
terrain means they will need all the extra help they can get. By the | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
end of the third day we will have climbed the equivalent of Everest. | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
I didn't tell him that until a few days ago. We have another day | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
coming out of Geneva, that is the single, the most climbing in one | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
day we will have and it's a long day, it is about 160 miles we have | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
to do that day. Mind on the task at hand, but Robbie Elliott admits he | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
will be listening out for Sunday's score. I will hopefully have it on | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
the radio if I can. Hopefully it will get me through the tough bit | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
of the ride. My six month spell at Sunderland didn't go to plan in the | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
end, but I am a Newcastle lad, a fan, and that is the way it is. | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
good luck to lads there. Our League One teams are in action tonight. | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
Carlisle are looking to bounce back from their flashing against Notts | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
County at Bury and Hartlepool are hoping to build on their weekend | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
point when they take on Leyton Orient. You can hear full match | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
commentary on Radio Cumbria and BBC tees. Yorkshire faced on of the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
tournament favourites Sydney sixers in the Champions League Twenty20 in | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
South Africa today. The Tykes won the toss and elected to bat first | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
but they were always going to be up against it. Joe Root top scored | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
with 25 hitting the on the six for Yorkshire of the game. The Aussies | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
started as they meant to go on, and they didn't mess about. Reaching | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
the target in less than nine overs, to win by eight wickets. Yorkshire | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
will face Mumbai Indians on Thursday so it won't get any easier. | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Now, after a spell of beautiful crisp autumn day, boy are we paying | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
crisp autumn day, boy are we paying the price. Is it wet everywhere | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
Paul? It brought all sorts today. Wet and cold today. They were the | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
two notable thens, many places had half an inch of rain, and with | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
saturated ground, that did cause some problems withstanding water, | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
but it was cold today, the temperatures really struggled under | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
that blanket of cloud. The only place I could find in the region | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
that hit double figures was Durham Tees Valley airport. That rain was | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
heavy at times but you can see the thicker cloud and the heavier rain | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
spiralling away, out over the North Sea. We are into a drier slot of | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
weather for the time being. So as we head into the evening, the sunny | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
spells that ended the day give way and a fairly cold first half to the | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
night. Temperatures dip down to two or three grease. Later in the night | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
the cloud thickens up again. The cloud is accompanied by rain. So | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
tomorrow morning that wet weather and windy weather spread across the | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
region, fairly quickly. Many places have a wet start to the day. We see | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
an improvement, dry, brighter weather spread to most place, rain | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
might be slow to clear on the Scottish Borders. Further south is | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
where we will see the best of the sunshine. So places like Stockton | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
and York should see the best temperatures. Still a brisk south | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
to south-westerly wind. So that is the picture for tomorrow. The low | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
pressure stays in charge as we head through the next few days, so there | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
will be some rain at times, and as we head to the weekend things start | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
to change again. High pressure starts to build to the east, and | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
that should settle things down as we head through Saturday and Sunday. | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
So we will keep you updated on that. Here is how it is looking for the | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
few days in between. Thursday and Friday, there will be some cloud | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
round, outbreaks of rain but it won't be wet all the time and the | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
temperatures recover back to the low teens by day, sixes and sevens | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
overnight. The North East similar enough cloud to produce patchy rain | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
through Thursday and Friday. Drier and brighter and temperatures where | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
they should be for this time of they should be for this time of | :27:25. | :27:30. |
