Welcome to Clementine's ride in North Yorkshire, more precisely, to Goathland, which was the main location for the filming of the 1960's based Police drama, called Heartbeat.
Goathland was turned into the fictional village of Aidensfield.
My wife and I are massive Heartbeat fans, and watch the repeated series over and over. It is aired on ITV3, usually at around 6pm. Great music, motorcycles and other vehicles of the 60's.
The weather was not as forecasted, so we are riding in misty drizzle, which makes visibility through the visor, rather difficult, so I am having to ride with the visor open, this unfortunately plays havoc with the harmonics within the helmet. The result is, that my voice overpowers the exhaust, but there is nothing I can do about that, sorry.
Despite the audio (and the weather), I hope you enjoy this ride, and the photo's at the end.
Thanks for watching.

Those bikes RE350 have proper mud guards unlike most of today's motorcycles.
Definitely, though you would be surprised just how much muck still ends up on the front of the engine, and around the rear shocks. 🤔 Cheers
Morning Ian excellent video shame about the drizzle. My lives there been over every lane round there I message why they stopped filming you different things say but you’ll be surprised nice sharing 👍🏍️
My guess Derek, is that they ran out of topics. Shame how they ended it though, with Oscar in Hospital.
Morning Ian, in spite of the weather that was a marvellous ride for me. Another one of my coach tour regular haunts. Heartbeat was always a favourite of ours, partly because it was so similar to my old job down here in the Staffordshire Moorlands - and yes, I had a couple of Claude Jeremiah type individuals to keep an eye on! 😅 I used to come into Goathland/Aidensfield past Greengrass's farm with the coach when I visited with my lovely clients from Whitby. I feel a Yorkshire trip coming on! 😃 Thanks again for this one anyway Ian.....oh, and that perishing GoPro has been retired! 👍😎
Happy days on all accounts Martin, especially that Go Pro 😂
Morning Ian, nice tour even if a bit damp , We were up Skipton on Saturday, couldn't see much of the hills because of all the mist hanging around, nice run out through. I vaguely remember an episode of Heartbeat with a couple of old hot rodded cars in it , my brother was chuffed as he had a ford Anglia with a flame paint job on it in the past!
Great pictures of Clemetine against the shops and Garage 👌
Cheers Mel 😆
Hi Mel, thank you. I know that exact episode (yes I am that sad), Vernon Scripps raced them in a souped up Moggy 1000 with a V8 in it. It all ended in tears as normal 😂
Always a pleasure watching your riding videos. A lot different than the roads here in Ohio. I love seeing your part of the world!
Thank you. So pleased you enjoy narrow, green lanes. I bet you really like the stone walls too.
Throughly enjoyed that. Was a huge fan of Heartbeat, back in the day. Have visited 3 times. Arrived on the steam train on first visit, and had a pint in the pub.
Then on 2nd visit, they were filming, so I managed to get photo with Mark Jordon….aka PC Bellamy. He was super nice.😊
Pity the weather was a bit crappy, for your ride through.😊
What a lovely memory Mark. We have been to a couple of the “Heartbeat” weekends, and met David Lonsdale (David Stockwell), he too was a top bloke. Glad you enjoyed it, despite the weather.
Hi Ian Hughes, whot a great vid and well filmed and amazing scenery and place and Clementine is looking
Thanks for the compliment Paul, much appreciated.
Hi Ian I remember going there couple times in 2002 and 2010 I love that little place we use to watch heartbeat avid followers of the program in its day both time we had a ride on the steam train can’t quite remember the station we got on at pick ? Something I think we loved it June time was when we went all the sheep lay across peoples driveways garden walls bldy beautiful I could live there very happy and yes where you ride out of the village it is hell of a steep hill anyway great video can’t help the weather take care ride safe
Thanks Nicholas. Wonderful memory. Yes it would have been Pickering where you got on the train. Nice to hear from a fellow Heartbeat fan. Thanks for sharing.
Nice one, great tour of Heartbeat country. Last time I went to Goathland it was raining as well!, I must return in the near future on a motorcycle and do the tour. I loved the earlier Heartbeats but then lost interest after Vernon Scripps character was written out. Geoffrey Hughes was a great actor.
Thanks Dave. My wife and I are avid repeat watchers of Heartbeats. ITV3 normally 2 episodes per night, very sad, but best thing on TV 😂 (apart from motorcycle racing 😉). We had been to Goathland a couple of times previously, on both occasions, timed the visit with the “Heartbeat” show, in perfect weather. Not this time though 🌧️😂. Cheers
Good ride Ian.
All I'll say is after 2 years with a classic, I'm more enamoured with these little plodders than ever.
True retro riding at its best.
Medidation on two wheels with zero modes .
You do the riding not a bloody computer.
I absolutely agree Lee. The perfect vehicle for lanes like these, with the added bonus of the little 350 thud thud thudding underneath you. Pure joy 😊 Cheers
Morning Ian, another cracking video, we have been there a few times while they were still filming the series, I have (somewhere) a photo of my daughter when she was about 3 years old sat on nicks police bike, shame that the weather wasn’t so good for you but you still managed to make a good video out of it, all the best buddy 👍
Thanks Mike. Weren’t you the lucky ones then, very envious. On two previous occasions when we just went there out of the blue, there was a “Heartbeat” 60’s weekend, with the usual array of vehicles, some which were featured in Heartbeat. David Lonsdale (David Stockwell), was also there, on both occasions. Very enjoyable.
Brilliant video Ian, as you know I love Heartbeat and you are quite right, Claude Jeremiah Greengrass was one of my favourites, possibly the favourite.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment 🥰
Hi Ian, you brightened up a miserable looking day with your video. Shame they do not make programs like heart beat anymore. That view of the station you showed looks like the Severn Valley Railway not too far from me. Your bike sounds lovely as usual.
All the best
Baz
Thanks Baz, that’s nice of you to say. Yes, Heartbeat, simple easy watching.
More like Heartbreak in the wet! I bet it's Lavly in the sunshine, thanks for braving the Xitta, that's Maltese for rain, and it's pronounced,........SHITTA! Cheers DINO et Al.
Thanks Dino and co. It was a bit grim Oop Norf 🤣
Morning Ian 😊 definitely one of my favourite TV series 1960s the vehicles, music and great actors 👍 what a great place for a vlogging meet-up 😊
Thanks James. Pleased we are not the only odd bods who enjoyed Heartbeat 😂. A bit of a trek for a meet up.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield yes it is but not over two days 😀
@Ainsworth-Rider hmm.🤔
Brilliant video some of the roads i travel on my Enfield intersepter some fantastic views 👌
Thank you, the fantastic views are there, unfortunately we couldn't see them when we were there this time 🤣
I used to watch it and I remember the garage and pub but everywhere else looks different in real life. Clementine has got good mudguards to help with the conditions , hopefully soon we will have some nice weather, have you put a sump guard on clementine ?😊👍🏍️
Good afternoon Donna. It’s funny, but as we watch episodes now, having been there, the producers were very good at hiding things they didn’t want us to see / wouldn’t fit in with the era. Clementine was spattered with mud, so she had to have a wash when we returned home. The sump guard is on the to do list, it will be in black, but there are too many other things higher up the list, like van service and new battery 🙈😂
That's an interesting ride, Ian; many thanks for braving the vagaries of the British weather! The Met Office acknowledges 60% accuracy, which means they're wrong 40% of the time!
We have Heartbeat on (again) here in Oz; still with Mike Berry, so probably around 1996 productions. The series has been started numerous times, but has never been run to its conclusion. For me, as for many, it's nice to see the characters and scenery, hear the period music and see the vehicles. Takes us back to the day.
Thanks Chris. Ann and I still think the original with Nick were the best. A good few years ago, itv3 aired just the 2nd half, I emailed them to say we were bored with it, any chance of buying the rights to the rest of it, then not long after, they did and it has been on a constant loop ever since. There was some seriously bad acting back in the early episodes 😂. That woman who was in love with the bloke who came back from Oz 🙈🤔😂. As for the weather, we are down in Cheshire visiting family, and arranged to have the van serviced yesterday, as it was forecasted to be peeing down (heavy rain), all day. Well, it bloody didn’t, dry roads after initially drizzling. 🤬. I hope to be taking at least one bike out for demo tomorrow (Thursday), forecast is ok, but you watch……….😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Agreed about Nick, though Jason Durr on his Beeza was ok, too. Yes, some of the early acting was definitely sus, but that's true in most long-running series. Good luck with the weather for the test - and remember that Murphy was an optimist! 😉
@chrisweeks6973 yes, Jason Durr is a pretty cool Bobby, especially on the A10. It’s a shame his solicitor wife bugger’s off with Tom Barnaby’s brother (John Barnaby). Yes, we are Midsomer Murders anorak’s too 😂
North Yorkshire moors, drizzle and mists at exactly what to expect at this time of the year. Nothing wrong with a tour of the Heartbeat tv locations. I’m planning to do something similar with the All Creatures Great and Small show. 👍
Thanks Nick, it was annoying as the day we went was glorious 🙄. Look forward to your All Creatures vid. We went past one of the vet surgeries featured in “The Yorkshire Vet” programs.
Thank you so much for taking us on this wonderful ride , Ironically the weather actually seemed to make it more authentic to me.
Big fan of the series , Could imagine "Oscar" putting a hand on your shoulder and asking what are you up to lad each time you pulled over ...😂 , Yes , I'm tragic too !!
Fantastic to see places I may never get to visit from this side of the globe and you did it on an appropriately styled machine. 👍
Great Stuff Ian.☮ ❤
Thanks for this kind comment Andrew. I think it was a shame how they ended Heartbeat, with Oscar in intensive care. It took a minute to think about, but the only two characters who were in it from start to finish, were Oscar and Alf. I know what you are saying about the ambiance, but it would have been good if you could see further across the moors 😂. So pleased you join us on our adventures. We have some cracking places lined up to ride this year (finances permitting). Cheers
Agreed , I was a big fan of Derek Fowlds right from Basil Brush as a child in NZ right through to Yes PM and of course H`Beat.
I`d love to have a pint in the "A`Field Arms" but just wouldn't seem right without "Gina" pulling it. ☺
I think we have all known a Greengrass at some point in our lives !!
In my opinion Oscar and Alfs character used to feed of each other if you know what I mean...😂@@ianhughesroyalenfield
@LifetimeBiker indeed. Glad you enjoyed reminiscing.
Good one Ian above and beyond taking Clementine out there in that awful weather but the perfect bike for those roads I reckon . I do remember watching Heartbeat when it was Nick Berry on the bike it was a good series at the time never missed any . I'll bet in the spring /summer it gets pact there what a photo at Scripps great stuff is it a gift /memorabilia shop or something now then ? Nice one well done 👌👍
Thanks Mal, Scripps is a tourist shop, with the usual tat. Oh, and takeaway coffee. Nice that the frontage is the same though. We think the original with "Nick Rowen" was the best, but the rest were good, up until the Scottish chap, then it all went a bit odd 🙄😂 Clementine loved the lanes, thump thump thump 😎
@@ianhughesroyalenfield I'd agree with that 😉👍
Great video again mate! Lovely scenery 😊
Thanks for watching Pete, glad you enjoyed it.
Bloodyhell Ian you were unlucky with the weather in Goathland I know it well and only go in spring and summer.. yes the roads in and out are quite steep I snapped my front brake cable on my BSA C11 going down the bank towards the station at the far end riding back in .. I took it there in the Van 😊😊
Yes it’s a lovely place and the moors are beautiful 😍
Thanks Phil, yes, both days either side were nice 🙄 Sod’s Law 😂. Snapping the brake cable down hill, that’s a handy thing to do 🤔😎😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield
Well I’d only had it a year 3 years ago and it doesn’t take a lot to snap the old cables Ithankfully the rear brake was fine 😂😂
It was soon put right with a new one… wasn’t expecting that tho lol 😂
The Bloke at scripps garage is a bit of a strange one cus we went down in the mg midget mk1 I had around 4 years ago middle of summer and he didn’t like us parking on his forcourt taking pics moody bugger…
Met him a few times bad day for him I think
Me met David and Gina in one of the shops on a classic car day 😊
Great place to go love the station
I must have caught him on a good day, but he was busy with bods in the shop (workshop) buying tat off him 😂. We went to a couple of the 60’s weekends too. Great fun, especially at the station where the band were playing. Every time the train pulled in, they broke into Heartbeat 😂
bit of a climb that one! Never was one fort Heartbeat though, nice vid.
Thanks ice. Nostalgia for us oldies, not young whiper Snapper’s like you 😂
Thank you so much ! , I've very much enjoyed your video, I spent much of my youth on those very roads! Starting with a Lambretta, in 1967 rolling up to a Z1, in 1975, and finally on a Bandit 1200 in 2000. My main story here was a trip from Bridington to Rosedale / Whitby and back , on a 175 Bantam one February in the snow in 1976, absolutely freezing!! Still, the main part of the tale is the kindness of Yorkshire folk _ it was so cold , a lovely lady from Rosedale made me a cup of coffee after catching me in the phonebox trying to get warm.Sadly, the only bike I still have from that bunch is the Bandit, but I'm seriously getting fired up for a RE 350 Reborn..then I'll be back up to Gods Own Country. I'm wondering if the 350 will get up Rosedale Chimney?????
Thanks so much for the compliment, much appreciated. I have just Googled Rosedale Chimney, yes I would think the little 350 will thump its way up, though it won’t be at any great speed, and probably in first gear 😂. If you scroll the first few minutes of this link th-cam.com/video/O9j0cxmRITQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pF_7Yjr-bViYmKMh it is a seriously steep incline, which Clementine went up without issue. Lovely memory about the Bantam in Winter, I like stories like that. I had a 1200 Bandit for a while. Bought it new, and had a dream machine paint job in “Franki Chilli” Alstare Corona Colours. Everywhere I parked up, people got their camera’s out. I modded it quite a bit, but ruined the handling. After pulling a wheelie, while power sliding out of a corner, ending up on the wrong side of the road, I sold it. Fear of losing my life, not just my license 😂Thanks again.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Wahh !! Power sliding a B12 !! I bet that caused a big skid mark! I've still got mine (1999 mk1) but it's a bit heavy now for a 71 year old. Also still got a Z1000J 1982 which I bought new! PLUS a Gpz900r A1 that I've just given to my son. I'm not bragging, I cant bring myself to let them go, toooooo many memories of great times. But I seriously want a 350, come April I think I'll be at the dealers. The Gpz gap in the garage will create the space!! The North York Moors is my favourite place, although I live in the Midlands now, I can still taste the air in Yorkshire,. By the way of stories of NYM, _ I also had a big skidnmark moment, whilst steaming past Fylingdales on a GS750, a sheep decided to cross infront of me at around 80mph, my mate behind us claimed I kissed it on the lips, but I didn't have my wellies with me otherwise I might have stopped!!!
@michaelnicholson5218 😂😂😂. You are a lucky boy still having those Classics. Me, well Clementine is a lovely little bike, taking things at a more sedate pace has its own rewards. Thanks for sharing.
I'm fairly confident in saying I haven't seen any episodes of Heartbeat! An era for me of late and night shifts. Nice roads for your Clementine to meander around on tho.
Thanks Simon, though you don’t know what you have missed. You can always catch up on ITV3 at 6pm, it’s on a rolling loop 🙈😉😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Maybe I will Ian, cheers. I hope it's better riding weather up there for you soon.
We have dropped down to Cheshire for a week, family stuff to do, plus hopefully get a ride on something, but the forecast is still looking crap ☔😪🙄
Well done Ian, can be rather bleak over the moors at this time of year 😊. Chris.
Indeed Chris…..bloody ‘orrible 😂 Cheers
A Heartbeat fanboy, who knew Ian eh 🤣🤣🤣I was never a fan or indeed ever watched it but you did bring back memories of how much my dear old mum used to enjoy the series. I was more a Sweeney man myself (different era I know). Nice place to ride a bike though.
Thanks Alex. I did wonder how this video would affect my “Street Cred”, if I had any in the first place, that is 😂. I too liked the “Sweeney”, but didn’t take to “The Professionals” (but preferred their mode of transport, Capri). We just find Heartbeat relaxing, in a world that has gone mad 🙄
@@ianhughesroyalenfieldI did enjoy the Professionals and had a Capri myself. I had two young kids who had to stuff themselves in the back haha. Those were the days and totally agree the madness of today's world.
@blearyview2254 I had a 3litre S in Black with Silver Stripes. Very cool 😎 Full Janspeed system, K+N, Revolution 4 Spokes. 😈
@@ianhughesroyalenfieldVery nice, I had poverty spec 1.6L 😑
@blearyview2254 😂
hello Ian thank you for the nice trip, i now have the same bike 4 days ago, not been out yet, how do you find the short leavers, you do have some rides where you are keep it up, thank you
Morning David, do you mean the adjustable handlebar levers ? I fitted those because I have small hands, they are brilliant. Thank you.
Should hit 2k subs today, congratulations. Love the town and thanks for the tour. Seeing this town on Google maps and now in video is neat in today's world. Thanks. Next time we go on the train!
Afternoon Blake, as you can tell, I was gutted that we were there before the trains were running. You might enjoy this video, which I just found on YT th-cam.com/video/gowmIjPInzQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PwasbC6z5FLi0vU6 Yes, so tantalising close to 2k followers, scary 🫣😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield lovely video. I like old school stuff. Still not old enough to get into real history as we really don't know much because we have no proof. Today we have documentation with video, but now that has been deemed as AI generated. Guess it still goes back to, unless we were their! You can't believe half of it.
@BlakesPipes indeed. Ann’s son and his family now live in Georgia, we have visited a few times. Called in an old museum village, and had a chat with an old lady, who loved our accent, and our history. It was a pleasure to have a conversation with her.
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Georgia the US of A? That is hot and humid pending on visit time.
@BlakesPipes yes, place called Spring Rock, not too far from Chattanooga.
Ian , Good video considering the weather. Have you tried Rainex on your visor. Works for me.. Best get back to clean Clemitine,. Until the next time, Bfn Mike Sunny Wales (i wish)
Thanks Mike. Tbh as I don’t usually go out in the rain, I haven’t much experience with these type of products…..but due to the unpredictable weather we encounter nowadays, I will have a look. Cheers 👍
@@ianhughesroyalenfield Rain X is for glass only. Not good for any kind of plastic.

Your wrong it’s lovely video despite the weather👍🏍️
Thank you Donna. That’s the only thing while out on a ride, you just don’t know how good it is going to turn out, until we rest home and I start editing. I really expected there to be more wind noise, and less exhaust note, so I was quite happy in the end.
That's a bit bleak at top of hill. :-(
Definitely, it’s grim oop norf 😂
Don't the blue dustbins spoil the villages
Definitely, hideous things 😪
