One of the things we did yesterday on our walk around the estate was to wend our way along the labyrinth’s path.
It is eleven years since a group of staff and students from the University of Edinburgh came to Scargill to build the labyrinth out of limestone. It was a surprisingly special time for those of us who worked on it together.
Now it gives real pleasure to know it is used for contemplative reflection, de-stressing or just enjoying the wander amidst the beauty of the dales countryside.

Ah, memories! The surprisingly short time it took to build, the singing of Grandmother Moon, the gentle bleating of the sheep in the background, the fact that the other Scargill residents were completely non-plussed by our endeavours (and mistook me as the only man in the group as the Priest leading his female parishioners) and of course the ‘hands on ha’pennies’ photo outside the place where Calendar Girls was filmed – “We’re going to need substantially bigger buns!”
