	In addition, a number of large earthquakes from elsewhere around the world have been detected. For example, Figure 2 shows the recorded ground motions from a magnitude 7.5 earthquake in the Hindu Kush at 09:09 on 26/10/2015 at each of the five stations in the Vale of Pickering as well as the permanent BGS monitoring station GDLE. Numerous signals from various seismic waves that have propagated along different paths through the Earth are clearly visible, as marked by the dashed lines, suggesting that the data quality is good. Comparison with the permanent station GDLE suggests that the stations in the Vale of Pickering give a similar data quality to the permanent station.

	No events have been detected in the immediate locality of the Vale of Pickering. However, a number of other earthquakes and quarry blasts from elsewhere in the UK have been detected (the closest shown by yellow stars in Figure 1). As an example, the southernmost yellow star in Figure 1(a) shows the location of a magnitude 1.7 ML earthquake near Warsop, Nottinghamshire, in the relation to the former monitoring network. Recordings of the ground motions for this event at the five stations in the network are shown in Figure 7(b) along with the recording at station HPK just north of Leeds. The signal–to–noise ratio is good and the event is well recorded, with clear P– and S–wave arrivals on most stations.		No events have been detected in the immediate locality of the Vale of Pickering.
