Work on #Helvellyn. Each #FixtheFells team member tackles a short section - around 10m - joining up as they progress. What a view for a workplace! @nationaltrust @lakedistrictnpa @FriendsofLakes @lakesfoundation @NECumbria

Big thanks to the @Team_BMC volunteers and Fix the Fells volunteers who joined us for a 2-day ‘Get Stuck In’ work party on The Band, Langdale! Thanks also #BMC for the donation of gloves which were immediately put to good use!

While our rangers draw breath before they start work on the fells in April, our volunteers continue to be out and about across the Lakes, maintaining paths. Here, enjoying the sun in Far Easedale. @NTlakedistrict @lakedistrictnpa @friendsoflakes @lakesfoundation @NECumbria
