This area is hard to really define. I have used the southern edge of the North Yorkshire Moors at the north, Scarborough to the east, the Wolds escarpment to the South as boundaries, then using the A64 as a boundary to York and up to Easingwold on the A19 to the west up to Thirsk. The area between Malton to York has been hard to define a line to exclude aircraft crashing near this area, I may have left some out here as a result.
