Winter Walks - Selina Scott

Selina cane to Guisborough market place many times — I got see her just as much as anyone. Just part of the furniture. I think I remember serving her for fruit and veg — nice lass.

@Artie Fufkin Glad you enjoyed it. I was Series Director and am now very proud of its national treasure status.

I enjoyed Winter Walks tonights as she was in my back yard, so all familiar territory to me. I was particularly thrilled to see inside Linton Hospital, which I've only ever looked at from the tables outside the Fountaine Inn.

I honeymooned in a cottage next to The Fountaine; and celebrated my 50th with a circular walk from Linton via Grassington, Burnsall and Thorp with a group of friends, ending with a meal at the pub.
Special part of the world for me.

Selina Scott was educated at Laurence Jackson School and I believe she was the Head Girl.

The Malham circular (via the Tarn) is my favourite too. It was effin freezing the day we were there with Ade .... -10 with wind chill on top of the pavement. But I think my favourite day's filming was Snowdon with Jamie. We had a 24 hour weather window to get up there, with the onset of winter, and had to wait until late for the hero shot on the summit with Jamie alone on the mountain. Then came down in the dark. So many great memories of making that show and I genuinely appreciate it when people say thay have been inspired to have a go at some of the walks.

Im doing the Malham circular on the Monday of the Blackburn game, then staying over and doing the Bolton Abbey walk on the Tuesday. Just seen Bandy photos the other day of the strid.

When the morning news programs first started selina was a big star.
She flew offshore to do a live piece on one of the rigs but the weather closed in and she couldn't get off.
So they put her up overnight in an en-suite cabin and she got off the day
The Bears auctioned the pubes left in the shower and they made a decent lump for charity 😁
True dat.

If you're in the Bolton Abbey area and have time, get yourself up Troller's Gill, a true hidden gem. Park on the roadside near Parcivall Hall (the gardens may be open) and follow the beck up. It's best to go up the eastern valley, which is trollers gill, like a mini goredale scar ... if you have decent waterproof boots there's an old mine adit that you can enter just before you exit the gorge on the right ... it only goes about 15m, so safe. Eventually you will come to a small footbridge ... follow that path over to the western valley. There's an old lead and fluorspar mine to peek into (too dangerous to enter) ... you'll notice that the path descends on top of old mine spoil which is all calcite, bits of fluorspar and barytes .... so the ground sparkles beneath your feet if the sun is out. Then follow the beck back to Parcivall Hall. You can do the loop in less than an hour but it's a beauty.
