Now I'm feeling sheepish.

Thou art most kind - 'twas a clue of magnificent proportion and taste.
As for a 'lake/leck/laik' - it does seem to vary quite a bit across the North, and I've definitely heard it pronounced like the body of water by others.
Dearie me - I'd best 'steer' this topic away from terrible puns. Interesting that 'wether' is highlighted as a misspelling.
A little marijuana gives the first clue. Expand this, lose 102 points, and you'll be 'up north' indeed!

Wish I'd thought of that!
To get somewhat back on track and off the witticism-fest -- Potters Bar? (Probably not.)

Very fun! But alas, not it. @Strat-tastic has been the closest geographically, but none of you are on the right track.

I presume this is on a joint line.

Annan? Cannabis loses C and I which makes 101, and a bs, but gains N for North.

Still wrong, I'm afraid. There's some treebarking going on.
Try thinking of what a 'little' marijuana could be first.

Lidlington? The Fat Furry Freak Bothers were always going out to score a lid in those druggie comic books. A lid being one ounce, squares.

Still completely wrong track, I'm afraid. Looks like this is trickier than I intended.
Hint: Try looking up 'marijuana abbreviation' (a little marijuana).

Not that abbreviation.

Huzzah! @duncamp has got it.
"A little marijuana gives the first clue." = THC (the chemical abbreviation for marijuana)
"Expand this" = Thurnscoe (for which THC is the abbreviation)
"lose 102 points" = remove 'a hundred' (C) and 'two points' (N, E), leaving 'Thurso'
"and you'll be 'up north' indeed!" = a geographical hint.
Your turn to pipe us all a clue.

A probably silly one, to maybe get things moving -- Low Moor? (Arthur Lowe, ready to do more)
You are on the right track, by using the surname of the actor who played Captain Mainwaring, which forms part of the answer station for this clue.
Yes Lowestoft is the correct answer.
Lowe's refers to the surname of the actor who played Captain Mainwaring
toft is an abbreviation for take one for the team , which is defined as a willingness to undertake an unpleasant task or make sacrifices on behalf of others.
Your turn.
The Net tells me that it can also stand for "travel operators for tigers", and "time out for trivia".

This one Should be easier.
