My first helicopter experience: Tanfield Railway, Gateshead UK
Honestly, I am an aviation fan but not a helicopter fan. I don't really know much about the helicopters. One more fact, I can't really fly any rotor vehicles even RC drones. However, this was my first time on a helicopter flight ever. The flight was a sight seeing and very short flight but it was a wonderful experience in my life. Steep turns were really amazing, unforgettable.

Tanfield Railway coal train charter
Video filmed in HD of a special charter on the Tanfield Railway organised by Gateshead Camera Club.
The charter featured Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST Renishaw Ironworks, No. 6 and the NCB coal train, recreating the sights and sounds of the coal trains of the 1960's.
The Tanfield Railway is famous for it's popular Coal train days, which are normally held every February and October. So the camera club enjoyed re-creating a coal train day on a sunny Saturday in August.

Places to see in ( Stanley - UK )
Places to see in ( Stanley - UK )
Stanley is a former colliery town and civil parish in County Durham, England. Centred on a hilltop between Chester-le-Street and Consett, the town lies south west of Gateshead. Stanley was formerly divided into three distinct settlements – the main town of West Stanley and the mining villages of East Stanley and South Stanley. Through a process of gradual expansion, these have become amalgamated into one town, with East and South Stanley no longer officially used as town names (although they are still recognised colloquially).
The civil parish of Stanley was created in 2007 and takes in not only Stanley, but the villages of Annfield Plain, Tanfield, Craghead, Catchgate, Tantobie, Tanfield Lea, South Moor, White-le-Head,Bloemfontein, Clough Dene, Greencroft, Harelaw, Kip Hill, The Middles, New Kyo, No Place, Oxhill, Quaking Houses, Shield Row, and West Kyo. The current Parish covers the vast majority of the former Stanley Urban District Council area, with the exception of Dipton and Burnopfield.
Stanley was first mentioned in 1211; however, some neolithic and Roman remains have been found in the area. The town's name is derived from the Old English for 'Stoney Field'. In John Speed's map of Co.Durham Stanley appears called Standley. The West Stanley Pit Disaster, one of the worst coal mining disasters in British history took place in Stanley at West Stanley Colliery on 16 February 1909 when over 160 people were killed in the Burns Pit disaster.
Over recent decades, Stanley has suffered hard times economically, with the closure of the coal pits followed by the loss of major employers at Ever Ready in nearby Tanfield, as well as the closure of both the British Steel plant and Shotley Bridge General Hospital in the neighbouring town of Consett. Local businesses in Stanley town centre were also significantly affected by the development of the giant MetroCentre shopping complex in nearby Gateshead, with local trade decreasing as a result.
The town now stretches into what were formerly neighbouring villages and towns such as Annfield Plain to the west and Beamish and Pelton to the east. This sometimes creates confusion over which local authority is responsible for certain areas, particularly around the Durham-Gateshead border to the northeast near the Causey Arch.
In recent decades, with the decline of traditional industries and the encroachment of large supermarkets and chain stores, 'Old Stanley' has declined, with many locally owned shops and pubs closing. The town's main shopping area, Front Street, is pedestrianised, housing independent shops alongside large chains such as Boots. A market is held on Front Street on Thursdays and Saturdays.
( Stanley - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Stanley . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Stanley - UK
