One of my other hobbies is Boats (well model RC tugs specifically). Browsing ebay I stumbled across a painting which was the Eppleton Hall Tug sailing to America. She is the only intact example of a Tyne-built paddle tug, and one of only two surviving British built paddle tugs.

Hi all,

Just to get the word out (and I'll follow up with an event) the lambton worm is Saturday 6th September. Departures from Grosmont and Pickering, but those wishing to get the early service out of pickering will need to let us know in advance. Again I'll put the timings on the event page.

Not a LLT member? You can join on the day, cheaper than a ticket for the NYMR.
