It won't be a procession (and definately not a timed run !) but a chance to drive through the beautiful North York Moors and spot when scenes were filmed.
Unfortunately some locations are not available, for example at South Shields Town Hall, the location of the wedding ceremony, the area surrounding the steps is being refurbished and the Redcar Steelworks (the level-crossing scene) is now closed.
Attached is the proposed route:-
Starting from Thirsk, take the A170 via Sutton Bank and Helmsley (Nice town, possible stop).
At Keldholme take the road to Hutton Le Hole (Nice village with pub and tea shop and green, good photo opportunity)continue on the main road to Castleton. This is Blakey Ridge where the moorland shots were taken.
On the moors is a pub call "The Lion" with large car park. (Possibly a lunch stop?).
Then down in to Castleton. Take a left towards Guisborough.
Turn left on to A171 to Guisborough, then towards Middlesbough (still on A174).
Then left on to the A66. The Newport Bridge (used in the ad) is on the right at a roundabout, it is the A1032 signed to Haverton Hill.
In all its 82 miles.
