Come on everyone, let’s #BeAdventureSmart and help out our local volunteer MR teams. LAMRT mini MRT been doing a great job of spreading the word! Cumbria Police Love Ambleside BBC Cumbria BBC Breakfast ITV News Border Lake District Lake District Foundation YHA Lake District
Coming at you out the telebox tonight on BBC Countryfile at 5:45 and then if you’re lucky possibly again at 9pm on More4! Looking forward (and a little nervous!) to seeing how both of these programs turn out......
Always feels nice to get a section of work finished off, our project on Dovedale is coming together nicely! fixthefells
This section of path was a bit of a head scratcher. With a deep gully and bedrock to contend with it gave us plenty to thing about. We needed to stabilise the sides and ensure no more material was lost. We’re pretty pleased how it’s worked out! fixthefells
Ever wondered how we build a water-bar? Take a look at this to find out! On the day we did this it even helpfully rained so we could see that water was draining at the end of the day. fixthefells Lakes Rangers
Hands up who spotted Sarah and Rowan on BBC The One Show with Owain Wyn Evans. We were taking about how Rangers find working outdoors in all weathers...we enjoy it, even the rain! @NTNorthLakes @NT_TheNorth
More bag filling for the team today. These will be flown up onto our project near the summit of the Old Man in April ready for us to work on over the summer. fixthefells @NTsouthlakes
Beautiful day on Coniston Old man, great to see the fixthefells volunteers back out in force.

Great to have Skyhook helicopters with us to get our stone moved in Kentmere. Tomorrow the plan is to lift stone onto Coniston Old Man, as such there could be long delays for walkers on the main path. As always we’ll be on hand to marshall! fixthefells
Today we’re lifting stone onto the Old Man.Due to the steepness of the path, we’re advising walkers there could be delays on the path between the summit and Low Water. Marshalls are on hand to keep everyone safe and let you know what’s happening! fixthefells
