Yorkshire Dales

After arriving back from Italy we shot AMV BBDO’s first campaign for ASDA with Colin Jones and David Hillyard (2 great AD’s & blokes) before heading up North to the Yorkshire Dales.

Although the barometer dropped from 36 to 7C the scenery was spectacular as beautiful as anywhere in the world. It will stay with me for years (& also the incredible haddock & chips in Magpie’s, Whitby - simply memorable).

What we forget is how clear the air is on the Yorkshire Dales and how polluted London is, which must be bad for our health.

If you only eat fish and chips once in your life make sure it’s from Magpie’s, Whitby. The beef dripping gives it so much flavour.
