Mary Smyth's profile page

Fred Hollingshurst caught the hiking bug when, fresh out of university, he spent a year tramping around Europe and North Africa. Originally from British Columbia, he has made Newfoundland and Labrador home since 1968. He worked briefly for NTV and the Daily News before settling into a long career as a producer with Memorial University’s Educational Television Centre. Travel through work and pleasure has enabled him to explore many regions in this beautiful province. He has also been wilderness backpacking in British Columbia in bear country and has guided hiking groups on the East Coast Trail.
