Aerial Views of Bedale and Leeming Bar etc.
Photographs
Chris Barker recently went on a hot air balloon trip starting from west of Bedale. He travelled over Bedale, Leeming Bar and Morton on Swale before landing near Yafforth. He took a number of photos which featured our line and stations and he has very kindly given me permission to publish them here. They give an interesting perspective of how we fit into the area. Hope that you like them.
