Friends of the Lake District: Fix the Fells Upland Path Restoration and Impacts of Storm Desmond Upland paths in the Lake District receive a tremendous pressure of use from fell-walkers and climbers and combined with heavy rainfall events like those we’ve seen in recent years, the need for their repair and maintenance has never been greater. Heading up Boredale Hause from Patterdale and onto Place Fell, Richard Fox, Fix the Fells Ranger will be discussing the impacts outdoor recreation and weather have had on our surprisingly fragile upland landscapes, the whys and wherefores of path repair and maintenance and ways those who use the fells can help keep them fighting fit for the future Terrain and activity: Moderate Timings: 9:30am - 2:30/3:00pm All sessions are booked on a first come first served basis. Please bring: a picnic lunch & clothing/footwear for all weathers. (Please note there is no indoor backup venue so the sessions will go ahead in poor weather unless unreasonable or unsafe to do so) Workshop provider: Richard Fox – Lake District National Park Fix the Fells Ranger
