DAY trippers are being encouraged to choose a greener way to explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The DalesBus 74 service, operated by First Bus from Bradford to Grassington, is running on Saturdays and follows the trail of the River Wharfe and popular Dales Way footpath, providing a starting point for a variety of countryside walks. Grassington features as the town of Darrowby in Channel 5’s popular remake of classic TV drama All Creatures Great and Small, which is due for a second series later this year and has now put the market town’s locations in the spotlight. Paul Chattwood of the Dales and Bowland Community Interest Company, which contracts the bus services from First Bus and other operators, said: “This is a great way to get out, relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery and sights of the Yorkshire Dales. It’s also a more sustainable way to travel.

You could say it’s a great archaeological mystery, and one with which we can easily connect, because we’ve all lost things as we wander through life. In most cases the object is found – or can be replaced. But every now and then, something is lost which is so precious that it has a more profound effect.

Back in March, while my son and his friends were enjoying a chilly morning of socially distanced outdoor fun at a campground, all the dads lingered near the fire our kids had built. We spent a few minutes catching up on how we’d all been dealing with one year and counting of pandemic life. Then, the conversation turned to where it inevitably has since the lockdown began: television.
The other dads all seemed like genial suburbanites. Their face masks, though, hid not just droplets, but the desperate fiending of TV junkies who had gone too long since their last binge. They needed recommendations, and they needed them with greater speed and specificity than I could provide. “What about

As the remake of All Creatures Great and Small has shown, programmes that go back in time – just like the trains, some might say – are just the ticket with viewers and this new film will certainly raise the profile of a popular heritage line which, like so many, has seen its income hit by the Covid pandemic. Hopefully, it’s full steam ahead to a new future thanks to its most famous ambassador – Jenny Agutter.
