Yes the A170 to Helmsley some brilliant rides out that way just to the south theres a White Horse carved into the cliff face which you can see from 20 miles away on a good day. I fitted a camera mount on the headlamp bracket wich seemed to work well.
Sorry about the wobble on the hairpin my shoulder strap came off my backpack thought i was going to lose it for a moment or two.

Fun clip!  I am intrigued by your camera mount.  I'd never really considered doing it myself, but that looks easy.
Can you describe the mount?

The sound is great!  No wind noise.  On my camera, the microphone is on the top, at the left side.  Yours?

Lou...that's funny...I did notice the wobble on the hairpin turn...it's okay. I was impressed with the quality of the film...wondered how you filmed it. I'm also impressed with how beautiful that area is...more beautiful than Cornwall and the south coast of England. Great post...thanks for the film.

Glad you all liked it,the camera is a Kodak C643 the microphone appears to be under the lens on the front at 7oclock.
The mount is just a piece of 1/8 plate welded to a 8mm bolt with a lock nut which fits into the headlamp mounting (this has a rubber washer on it which helps with vibration) it has a 6mm hole for the camera mount and i put a piece of foam under the camera for good measure.I use a 2Gb memory card for video which gives about 10 minutes i think??.
my willing assistant demonstrates the mount.

ps the A170 runs over to pickering then the 171 to Whitby
