Hi all, first explore post on this forum, but you all seem a friendly bunch:thumb
Spotted this yard on Google Earth in North Yorkshire and have been scoping it for a while, part of it is very much live, but scattered in the trees that surround it were loads of old trucks simply abandoned. I love old trucks me!
So the 'exploraclock' woke me early and off I set southwards on a glourious sunny Sunday morning for a bit of trudging through fields, climbing over hedges and generally getting wet and knackered, but I hope you agree the results were worth it:
Old Leyland for starters:

The yard is for road repairing plant, and I imagine has been in business for many years judging by the age of some of the vehicles:
