Volunteers make It happen. 🤝 Fix the Fells relies on 160 passionate volunteers who give their time and skills to restore the Lake District’s upland paths. Isabel Berry, Fix the Fells Partnership Manager, says, “Volunteers are central to everything we do.” Help us support them by donating. donate.biggive.org/campaign/… 🔗 #VolunteerPower #FixTheFells #ChristmasChallenge ©National Trust Images/Paul Harris Fix the Fells Lake District National Park National Trust Lake District Friends of the Lake District Natural England Big Give

You know you are in for a great day @fixthefells volunteering in Wasdale when the first picture you try to take is photo bombed by NT ranger Rob. Good day, great company and excellent engagement with walkers heading up Scafell Pike. Rebuilding old steps and adding some new ones
