Well,
Where have we been since May? We have had a busy time working in the countryside at Buttermere, Crummock, Borrowdale and Dunthwaite alongside and in support of the National Trust Rangers.
We started off helping Rangers Paul and Dan divert a path from the edge of Crummock Water due to erosion by wave action, yes wave action that had undercut the old path.
Ranger Paul warns volunteer Jim just how big the spider was he had just seen on the work site. Well if you have to work and or volunteer, what a location to do it. High Park looking up Crummock Water towards Rannerdale Knotts
By the shore of Crummock Water Ranger Paul part way through digging the new path.
Paul is joined again by Jim whilst watched over by site supervisor Theo. Turf stripped from the new path is used to fill in the old line.
Ranger Dan brings in the shillie to surface the new path. Theo makes sure he puts it in the correct place.
Paul adds the finishing touches, turf replaced and gently eased into place by a size 9!
Just to finish the job we cut back the brash to entice walkers to use the new path.
