After a week of mixed (and atrocious) weather we've finally managed to start getting stone flown up on to the Swirls path up Helvellyn, ready for @fixthefells repair work later on this year. 🏔 🚁

Earlier this week Fix the Fells lifted stone and aggregate onto Gowbarrow, ready for work in 2026. @NTlakedistrict @lakedistrictnpa @friendsoflakes @lakesfoundation @NECumbria

A good few Red Grouse displaying on Gowbarrow this morning. This one got particularly close. #Gowbarrow #Ullswater #LakeDistrict

Credit to ⁦@fixthefells⁩ on the Kidsty path, great work 👍💪👌

@CharlesBewley2 @fixthefells Thanks.

Perfect weather for getting the heli-lifts completed this week. We’ve had stone moved on both the Gowbarrow and Bracken Hause paths, where we’ll resume work later this year. 🚁

We've been busy building a stock-proof fence at the end of the valley in Langdale over the last week...

Welcome back, beavers. 🦫 We are thrilled to support the Government’s decision to allow the reintroduction of beavers into the wild in England. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/02/28/bea… Beaver clips @BeaverTrust and Alan Puttock (University of Exeter).

Lake District walking routes restored by Fix the Fells. The footpaths to Glenridding Dodd, Gowbarrow Fell, and Loughrigg Fell, popular for their accessibility and scenic views, were suffering from erosion due to heavy foot traffic and extreme weather. orlo.uk/0aIhz

@UllswaterFelt @Natures_Voice @RSPBEngland @RSPBbirders Males tend to be a bit smaller. A large female Peregrine can be roughly the same size as a small male Buzzard.

@NTCentralFells @Natures_Voice @RSPBEngland @RSPBbirders It didn't look big enough for a buzzard!

I apologise for the poor quality photos. Is this a Peregrine? Photographed in the Ullswater valley. @Natures_Voice @RSPBEngland @RSPBbirders
