The next half an hour ` 30 years on ` questions to r the man who led the | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
miner's strike. Socialist, nothing like the reality is to the man I | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
know now and I have been at loggerheads with. Middlesbrougher | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
George Friend swaps the championship for the Northern League, to discover | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
why so many players choose not to head for the big time. It is | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
bringing more security to their family life. Sounds ideal. Where do | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
I sign? You might need to wait a couple of weeks! We meet the Lake | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
District obsessive who will brave the elements to get this shot. It is | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
an absolute beautiful scene, but the wind is horrendous. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
Stories from the heart of the north`east and Cumbria. That is | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Inside Out. Three decades ago, 22,000 miners | :00:57. | :01:15. | |
here in the north`east and Cumbria joined the national strike. The | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
leader of the national yn National Union of Mineworkers, Arthur | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
Scargill, became one of Britain's most famous and controversial public | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
figures. Now, he's involved in a bitter series of disputes with his | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
old union. Tonight, Dan Johnson asks why over the past 30 years more than | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
?700,000 has been paid by the NUM to another organisation of which Mr | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Scargill is President. It is 30 years since the miner's | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
strike started. It was an industrial dispute that caused deep divisions | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
and it helped define Mrs Thatcher's Britain. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Whatever the rights and wrongs, no`one can deny the hardship faced | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
by miners and their families and the devastating social impact of pit | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
closures in the years that followed. There is another legacy that causes | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
bitterness ` it is about money ` lots of money and the man who used | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
to lead the miners, Arthur Scargill. Loyalty to every miner and every | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
miner's wife in this country. 30 years ago, Arthur Scargill could | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
claim to be the most powerful trade union boss in Britain. He was always | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
controversial. To his critics, he was an enemy | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
within. To many of his supporters he could do no wrong. Jimmy Kelly was a | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
young miner. He followed Arthur Scargill without question. During | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
the strike, there was nothing better than him. He would have `` we would | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
have followed him to the world. In effect, we probably did. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
But here at NUM headquarters 30 years after the strike there's a | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
deep rift between Arthur Scargill and the man who is now in charge of | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
his old union. I think Arthur's lasting legacy is in two halves, if | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
you like. If you take what he did during the strike, just before and | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
just after, then he had a very positive impact on the union. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Unfortunately, anybody that is looking at Arthur now, on recent | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
events, would see him in a very different light. Relations between | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Arthur Scargill and the NUM have hit rock bottom. There have been a | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
series of legal disputes. In 2012 he got an out of dort settlement over | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
expense `` out of court settlement over expenses. A year ago he lost a | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
battle to stay in his London flat for life, at the ex`peps of his old | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
union. There's `` expense of his old union. There is no question the old | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
union can afford the payments of that entitlement, to which I was | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
entitled. One document is an application in 1993 by Mr Scargill | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
to buy his rented flat at a discounted price. It is at the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
Barbican in central London where property now faces nearly ?1 | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
million. Mr Scargill wanted to use right to buy legislation Mrs | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Thatcher had introduced so council tenants could buy their own homes. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
It is so hypercritical, it is unreal. It was Thatcher's | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
legislation that gave council tenants a right to buy their houses. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
The application was refused because it was not his primary residence. He | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
doesn't mention in his application that the flat was paid for by the | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
NUMs. I think people would be actually astounded by knowing that. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
Mr Scargill told us the proposal, if accepted, would have been put to the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
NUM's National Executive and the flat subsequently transferred to the | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
ownership of the NUM. He said it would have saved the union a | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
substantial amount of money and provided them with an asset. If we | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
honestly believe that our demands in this resolution is justifiable... | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
Another document relates to Frank Cave. In December 2001, he was dying | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
of cancer. His friend and colleague, Arthur Scargill, was about to retire | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
from the union presidency. Mr Scargill had a problem. He wanted to | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
stay in his London flat with rent paid by the NUM for the rest of his | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
life. And on December, 7th, 2001, a letter was written, apparently by Mr | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
Cave, setting out Mr Scargill's entitlement. He gave evidence it was | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
Mr Cave's work, despite the fact his colleague died only a month after it | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
was written. I have seen Frank more than most of us, I would suggest. As | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
far as I was concerned Frank wouldn't have been writing letters. | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
An earlier draft was produced in evidence, with an alteration written | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
in Mr Scargill's own handwriting. In response Mr Scargill said he looked | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
at a small section of the letter without reading any more of its | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
content. The issue was whether or not the letter came from Mr Scargill | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
and the justice found it did. Mr Scargill told us he stands by his | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
evidence. He rejects Mr Kelly's allegation. He said the judge | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
inexplicably dismissed other evidence in the case, indicating | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
that Mr Cave was alert, aware and/orien tated, right up to the | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
time of his death. But this story goes back 30 years, | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
to the miners' strike N the end, the miners lost. After that defeat, Mr | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
Scargill's links with an international minuters' organisation | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
deepened di `` miners' organisation deepened divisions within the NUM. | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
It was to Paris that Arthur Scargill turned more of his attention after | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
1985. The IMO, now renamed the IEMO was | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
founded here, six months after the strike. It claimed to represent 6.5 | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
million miners around the world and it was headed by Arthur Scargill. | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
The national National Union of Mineworkers and the international | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
minerer's organisation have agreed a former which `` international | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
miners' organisation... There was a row about money from Russian that | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
went to the IMO not the NUM after the strike. They settled when they | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
donated ?724,000. Both organisations were headed by Arthur Scargill. Frr | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Chris Kitchen this is more than history. He is concerned about the | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
subsequent financial relationships. You cannot justify expenditure if | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
you don't know what it has been put to. He has established between 1985 | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
and 2010 the NUM paid ?712,000. Nearly half a million of that was | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
annual subscriptions. It is 20 years since the IEMO last published any | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
accounts. The trouble happened when I was asked to justify paying that | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
amount in money and I asked for sight of accounts from and refused | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
to be given them. Where do you think that ?20,000 a year has been going? | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
What has it been spent on? I had no idea. That is why I wanted to see | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
the accounts. In response to the question about publishing accounts, | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Mr Scargill said the IEMO had presented accounts in accordance | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
with the instructions of its Congress. I asked him what that | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
meant, but so far he's not got back to us. Before he retired ?145,000 | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
was paid by the NUM to the IEMO without the National Executive | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Committee being consulted N the Barbican case Mr Scargill said this | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
was the elive lent of have expected as a severance | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
payment. What came out in the court case is Arthur's belief was he | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
believed he was entitled to severance payments. He hadn't asked | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
for them. Mr Scargill told us this wasn't a redundancy or severance | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
payment to him. It was money which would have been payable to him if he | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
had accepted a lump sum. He said it was from an NUM trust fund and did | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
not need to be referred to the National Executive Committee. When | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
it came to light and questions were asked the explanation given was this | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
was money that was, Arthur was entitled to receive but didn't want | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
to receive and there for the same donation went to the IEMO. Are you | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
content with that? Without knowing, seeing the accounts, you can draw | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
different assumetions as to what happened to that money. `` | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
assumptions as to what happened to that money. It is clear the links | :10:21. | :10:32. | |
with the IEMO continued. That is inappropriate? I personally think it | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
is inappropriate. One of his supporters told us Mr Scargill is a | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
man of complete integrity. To some he is still a hero. To others, he | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
has left a bitter and troubled legacy. The perception I had of | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Arthur, the great trade unionist, socialist is nothing like the | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
reality as to the man that I know now and I have been at loggerheads | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
with for most of my term in office. They say football is no longer the | :10:59. | :11:08. | |
game it once was. Well, big wages and transfer fees have changed it | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
beyond recognition. But there is a brand of football here in the north | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
which hasn't changed for more than a century. We asked Middlesbrougher | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
player George Friend to swap the championship for the Northern | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
League, to investigate why fans and players are choosing it over the | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
professional game. I play in the championship. I am about to drop | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
down seven divisions. I want to know why the world's second oldest | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
football league is still a success. So, I am joining Shildon. I have | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
heard that some fans choose to watch this level instead of the Premier | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
League. Even some players decide to stick around rather than turning | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
pro. Welcome to the Northern League. | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Blood and thunder. Proper tackles, proper pies. It will | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
be my world for a bit. I want to get some advice from my mate ` | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Middlesbrougher first team keeper, Jason Steele. Will I get booted? You | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
will get kicked a ul over! I don't think he's hard enough for | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
the Northern League. Hey, get your hands out of your pockets. Don't | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
stand around like that here! Firsts things first, I need to know the | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
league's history. So, Mike, you are Mr Northern League. So they tell me. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
I have been chairman 18 years now... . This cottage is a treasure trove | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
of Northern League memorabilia. All directed by the trust. The history | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
of the league goes back to 1889. There were ten teams at the start | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
from, the Tyne to the tees... The routes of northeast football culture | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
can be traced back to the first season ` it featured the two teams | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
that joined to become Newcastle United. It featured Darlington and | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
another famous name. Is that the Middlesbrougher. That is. I would | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
not be standing here if it was not for the Northern League? They have | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
won the last two finals... By the 1950s the Amateur Cup finals were | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
being played in front of crowds more than 90,000 people I was a time when | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
many Northern League players could play at the very highest | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
professional level. But, like Bob Thursby, who played in | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
this game, they chose not to. The team that was the most important | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
one in the country was Wolverhampton Wanderers. They were way above | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Manchester United at the time. I went down there, sort of on trial | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
for a week. They wanted me to sign. He turned down ass nol too. The | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
maximum wage at that time for a footballer was ?20. I thought if I | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
go to University I could probably make ?20 and as I say, I didn't have | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
to retire at 34. So the quality of the Northern League was so high | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
because player whoss could have been pro choose to stay put instead. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
While with Shildon, I want to find out if that is still the case. The | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
first spot of training with Shildon. See what the standard is like in the | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Northern League. Go on, George! It turns out almost | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
every member of the team has had some professional experience. Ben | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
Wood left Sunderland and John Brackstone played for Hartlepool and | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
Darlington. What stopped you searching for the professional | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
contracts? There comes a time you have to think about your life and | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
future. I want to catch one the gaffer to find out why so many good | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
ex`pros end up at this level. We have a lot who have come out and | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
gone into being a teacher. They have a career they develop and they pick | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
up a few quid playing for us. Overall, it is bringing more | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
security to their family life, isn't it? Where do I sign? After today's | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
training you might need to wait a couple of weeks! | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
Some Northern League clubs can not afford to paytary players. Town `` | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
to pay their players. Teams like Shildon can pay up to ?200 a week. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Not bad for playing on a Saturday. A lot of people would be happy to get | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
?400 a week. That is on top of a full`time job. I thought do I chase | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
my dream or get on with my life. I like to think when I am 30 I will be | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
secure, nice house. Stephen is now training as an apprentice engineer | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
at South Tyneside college. He has already got a job with a cruise ship | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
company. If a professional company came in, what would prize you away? | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
It would take something like a five`year deal. A few grand a week. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
I am starting a family. I wonder what my wife would think if I had to | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
look for a new contract? I think being settled with a family would be | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
important to both of us. You can see why people in the Northern League do | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
it? Definitely. So, just like the 1950s, financial | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
security is still the reason good players stay in the Northern League. | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
But does it mean professional clubs like Hartlepool miss out on the | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
talent? Do you feel you are being priced out of the market? We can be | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
if they can earn ?500 in the Northern League and get a job on top | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
of. That you are looking at a salary of up to ?50,000 a year. There is a | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
fair bit of money at the very top of the Northern League, not least at | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Celtic Nation in Carlisle. These are all brand new seating put in. These | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
th will be the new sponsor's lounge. It is backed by an | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
based tie con. He can report whatever he wants, reported to be up | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
to ?600 a week. For the league they are paid quite well. Yes. We are | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
fortunate with what has happened to us. | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
I have seen how the Northern League is attractive to local players. Top | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
teams are professionally run. Maybe that is what is bringing the fans | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
back. This is what it is all about ` match | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
night. Stick together tonight. It will be a long game... The club I | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
have been with, Shildon, are fighting the big spenders for the | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
league title. What is the prize today? I don't | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
know. The secretary hasn't yet told me! The fans are well up for it. It | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
is a bitter Derby against another famous Northern League club, Bishop | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Auckland. Thank you. Northern League | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
attendances have been up for the last decade. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
It is a friend liar atmosphere and you probably could `` friend yar | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
atmosphere and you probably couldn't afford the other games ` it is too | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
expensive. It is relatively inexpensive, you see some very good | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
players. The man who has just scored that | :18:27. | :18:40. | |
goal, Paul Connor, is an ex`professional. He is Rochdale's | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
record signing and he's come back home. This is the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
he chooses to play at. Come on Shildon! | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
My sister and law and myself do the food. We have done it for a lot of | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
years. You don't get dumpling at Chelsea! A lot of the people who | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
work very hard to keep Northern League clubs going are doing doing | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
it because they identify with Bishop Auckland and it is their town ` that | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
is the way it works now. This is where it all happens. You get three | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
in. When he's there, only one `and`a`half in. The people who work | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
in these clubs are gems. The league would probably die without these | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
people. A 4`0 win for Shildon. I have come to the end of my time in | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
the Northern League. The professionalism shown in what is | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
the ninth tier below the Premier League astonished me really. The | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
fact so many people are involved and they are so passionate about the | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
Northern League ` they are proud to be part of it. It is what makes the | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
league so strong. I getss we all dream of giving up | :19:52. | :20:03. | |
the day job, spending time in the open air and following our passion. | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
Of course not many of us get the chance, but Terry#5Abraham did. Now | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
he wants to share his filming obsession with the Lake District. He | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
goes to extreme lengths to get "the shot." | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
Coming here, to somewhere like the Lake District, it ignited something | :20:32. | :20:40. | |
in me and inspired me. I have been coming back here often. The Scafell | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
` it is my baby. I love that raw power it has with the rocks and the | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
crags and the exposure you have here to the elements. There is a real | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
true sense of wilderness here that you don't really find in other parts | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
of England. It just resonates with me. I am sure | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
I should have been a shepherd in a previous life, but, oh, well, now I | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
am just a posh tramp out on the hills. And it is this landscape that | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
is testing Terry emotionally and fizzally to the limit, with his most | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
ambitious project to date. I want to capture the Scafell at its best, | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
through the seasons and at its worst as well: Hence I am out on days like | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
today. It gives a true reflection of the character of this mountain. He | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
spent the last year capturing the seasons and the people connected | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
with Scafell Pike. . England's highest mountain in West Cumbria. | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
What I hope to do in my film is enlighten people, inspire them. I | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
just want to share the glory of this landscape here that means so much to | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
me. To understand Terry's passion today, | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
we have to go back 20 years when he had a suspected heart attack. It was | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
only sort of in my late 20s. It made me realise how life is so short. | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Those interests came into a real sharp focus for me. There are lots | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
of places I wanted to see in Britain and enjoy and go out backpacking and | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
taking it all in. And then I picked up a cheap cam corder, started to | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
take it out with me on camps and things like that, up on the fells. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
It was only recently that Terry was forced to quit his job as a competer | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
expert, take the plunge and make a living from his passion. I cannot | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
help but smile that the path I am on now in my life, which has led me to | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
producing this film started really because I got made redundant and, at | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
the time, I was day dreaming of spending lots of time out in the | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
hills and developing my craft ` film`making skills. As a consequence | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
of that redundancy I jumped in with both feets, went for it and have not | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
looked back since. He is a new breed of film maker and can get extra | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
reaction to his work. There are an abundance of films out there. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
YouTube being the most popular, people can find you. To take up a | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
hobby ` that is what it was ` film making the door doors `` the | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
outdoors, it has become my career. To capture every mood of the | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
mountain, Terry, who cannot drive, will get the bus to the bottom of | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
the fells and then he's on foot, alone! | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
For the first time in a couple of daysvy got a signal. I am texting | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
the wife to let her know I am safe and well. She should not worry. I am | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
very careful with every step I make on the fells. I don't trust any rock | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
` if it is slippy, it could be dry ` never trust them. If it is like this | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
all day it can be a bit demoralising. It is the nature of | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
the game. You know. A lot of time out here, on the fells ` take the | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
rough with the smooth. Normally I am at least a week out. | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
It is not unheard that I am out here for three weeks. I am at the mercy | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
of the general conditions. I don't ever get scared. Fear is a | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
state of mind. There's my rucksack N there goes | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
everything. The tent, the video gear ` the different cameras I have with | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
me. Cooking, so I have got gas. One of the reasons I am wearing this | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
fluffy hat is because my wife bought me this last winter, so I feel like | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
I have a part of home with me here. I miss and love my family dearly of | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
course it is one of those things, it is my job now. I want to be out | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
here. I also miss home. I like to be at home, be with my family. | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
Winter in the karn gorms can be wild and savage. On a sunny day, when it | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
is warm and dry, in the shelter of the trees, it is easy to think that | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
it must be the same high up. At the Kendal Mountain Kendal Mountain Film | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Festival Terry is rubbing shoulders with other film makers. I have never | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
stepped foot out there before ` especially in winter. The first week | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
was a shock for me, as you can imagine. It is a big thing and a big | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
confidence boost for me as I work on the Scafell Pike film ` my baby. | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
That is the one I hope they will screen here next year. | :26:13. | :26:21. | |
I look at this cracker here... Back at home in New washing on Trent, | :26:22. | :26:32. | |
Terry is viewing his footage. It can be challenging coming back home. I | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
am buzzing, on a high. It is like a jigsaw, it is up to you to put all | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
the pieces together and complete a picture. The film has yet to | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
premier. He is wetting the appetite of his future audience using social | :26:47. | :26:54. | |
media. This has been popular with a lot of my Twitter followers. The | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
film is part funded by Terry's followers and sponsors. The rest | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
from him. Over half the budget for the film | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
has come from the public. But I love the place. It is my | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
passion, so I am going to out there and do it, even if I have no money | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
in my pockets. And back on the fells, his patience | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
is once more paying off. I have come back here several times | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
now to chase this shot. OK, it has not happened yet, but it looks like | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
it will happen. I'm legging it! | :27:33. | :27:41. | |
Yeah, over there! The challenge I am facing at the | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
moment is an absolutely beautiful scene. The wind is horrendous. | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
I might have to move somewhere else. There we go! This is it. | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
Come on, camera! I am well happy with that. It was | :27:58. | :28:13. | |
superb. It was worth the wait. The thing that makes me smile most of | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
all are the people who come back to me and say you can really see your | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
love for the area. It shines through. | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
That's where I get a real flutter in my heart. I think, yes! It is paying | :28:23. | :28:29. | |
off! Stunning pictures. Well worth | :28:30. | :28:31. | |
braving the elements for. Now, before I go, a quick mention of the | :28:32. | :28:38. | |
blog, I write about the stories I cover each week. That's it for | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
