Harry Yack takes a trip to the home of donkeys, expensive lighting and billions of bed and breakfasts. No time for sausage ‘n’ chips or walks along the promenade, however, as the 2011 Replay retro video game type thingy was also taking place just down the road at Norbreck Castle.

A quick vlog project done for Retro Yakking. Well, I say ‘quick’ because it was supposed to be a one-day thing but I ended up spending about three looking around for interesting stuff on Street View. Research, what can you do about it, eh?

Anyhow, please excuse the pants frame rate but my capture software simply couldn’t handle the sheer power of my computer…

Video Blurb: This ain’t no ordinary sightseeing tour, oh no. For a start, its woefully incompetent guide has no real knowledge of… well, anything, really. On the plus side, this does make for some wholly irrelevant and hopefully amusing comment that might keep you watching for the full four minutes. I doubt it though.
