Left for the trek to Dalby Forest on the Friday 26th June 2015, staying at South Moor Farm, Dalby Forest Drive, Langdale End, Scarborough, YO13 0LW, www.southmoorfarm.co.uk, 10.00pn.Â Journey was thankfully uneventful. The site was a sectioned off bit of a field full of cow pats, owners very friendly but facilities severely lacking.

Great views and great location if you like cycling or walking, but little else there.

The purpose of our stay was to see Paul Heaton and Jackie Abbot on the Saturday night at the forest live concert, sepnt the day relaxing and had a walk round a bit of the forest (small bit).Â In the evening had a BBQ and some drinks and then set off on the walk to the venue, about 1.5 miles.Â So not too bad.

Warm up act were OK, actually very good really, but not too memorable.Â Paul and Jackie were on form although left all the (Housemartins and Beautiful South) oldies right to the end for their encores.Â Really it was what 90% of the crowd wanted to hear all night, pisses me off that. Why not mix it up and play what the crowd wants as well as what the band together and then use the encore to play the tracks that went well!

Still fun walk back in the drak with cars leaving walking down an unlit road, with no pavement, torches saved our lives and allowed us to indicate displearure to tossers using full beam.

Rained in the morning, we left about 11am.
