:23:24. > :23:27.best view of all! Very true. We are going for a world record, the
:23:28. > :23:31.longest Bunting currently stands at ten kilometres. Volunteers
:23:32. > :23:37.determined to beat that havd spent months making more than 15,000
:23:38. > :23:40.pieces from around the world. Getting it into place has bden a
:23:41. > :23:49.major operation and involve some traffic control. I am going to wrap
:23:50. > :23:56.this around this poll and then staple it into place. We will then
:23:57. > :24:01.pull in front. The Bunting has to be of a specific size but not greater
:24:02. > :24:08.than 19 centimetres across the top but a gap of five centimetrds and 25
:24:09. > :24:15.centimetres long the diagon`l. It has to be of reasonable quality At
:24:16. > :24:22.the Robin Hood pub we have hn praise `` they have embraced the tour. I
:24:23. > :24:30.never thought all these people would get together and do this. Wd have
:24:31. > :24:41.one more week to go! For thd people of Cragg Vale, the tour cannot come
:24:42. > :24:48.soon enough. The Robin Hood pub is patch tonight. Here we go! H cannot
:24:49. > :24:55.believe it, Elaine, you had the idea the Bunting. I do going to do the
:24:56. > :24:58.record? We are hopeful, we `re convinced that we have brokdn the
:24:59. > :25:03.record, but it remains to bd seen. Sharon, this is your fault, it was
:25:04. > :25:10.your decision to go for the world`record! Feeling happy? Yes,
:25:11. > :25:16.very confident. Today was a dry run, you are hoping that you will have
:25:17. > :25:23.some good news regarding thd weather? Yes, I would like to poll
:25:24. > :25:46.to tell us some good news! Lots of sunshine and no rain, pleasd!
:25:47. > :25:53.Let us have a look at two of the pictures that came in over the past
:25:54. > :26:05.24 hours. Look at that lovely sunset. The headline for thd next 24
:26:06. > :26:10.hours. There will be some stnny intervals with high`pressurd holding
:26:11. > :26:16.on. This weather system will bring some real across most part on
:26:17. > :26:21.Friday. Some uncertainty about where that will end up but it could turn
:26:22. > :26:26.wet at times on Friday. There has been a lot of cloud pushing in from
:26:27. > :26:29.the North West. A lovely st`rt but that code is pushing across and it
:26:30. > :26:35.could be setting off for thd odd spot of rain and Western ardas.
:26:36. > :26:39.Other than that, a fine night. The best of the clear spells for the
:26:40. > :26:51.East. Lowest temperatures around ten or 11 Celsius. The sun rises at
:26:52. > :26:56.4:36am. It is another fine day, white tea, just the odd spot of rain
:26:57. > :27:02.across the Yorkshire Dales, other than that it will be dry. The best
:27:03. > :27:06.of the sunshine along the coast The thickest of the cloud will be for
:27:07. > :27:17.the West. A gentle North East breeze, highs of 15 degrees for the
:27:18. > :27:21.coast. Inland, around 18 Celsius. Further ahead, Friday looks like it
:27:22. > :27:26.will be cruel but outbreaks of rain spreading North East words `nd then
:27:27. > :27:30.expects up over the weekend with a mixture of sunny spells and
:27:31. > :27:36.scattered showers, temperattres just below average, that is your
