Replying to @Dalesranger
@Dalesranger @yorkshire_dales great repair on the bridge at SD928 883. That should last a good few years.

Great first day yesterday for the #UKNationalParkRangers Conference here in the #NorthYorkMoors. Fuelled with cake the ranger teams braved the weather to explore our diverse landscapes and learn about our conservation projects on the ground and skill share. 🙂🍰 @uknationalparks

#Wharfedalerangers have replaced a ladder stile with a stone step stile and constructed a new flagged path on a boggy section at #Winterburn. Many thanks to #HFHolidays for donating the flags.

#WesternRangers Calum and Ed have been out tackling rising water levels at #TreasonfieldFord. The Ford can be quite deep at times and due to the constriction at the bridge spreads up the track in either direction... work begins!

A mound of aggregate to hold back the water on one side of the track was put in to hold back the water as well as raise the height. Then the slumped hedge banking was cleared off to expose the old stone track.

Repairs were made to the broken down walls and extended the length of the wall as well as creating an additional step to reach up to the level of the walkway.

#WesternRangers enlisted the help of the #WestDalesVolunteers, #WestmorlandDalesApprentices and #schoolworkexperiencestudents to replace the boardwalk at #MossyBottom near #DentHead. Done over a few months in the rain, sun, wind, hail and midgies!

Following a request from #WoodlandTrust to improve the steep footpath that descends down to bridge over #HebblethwaiteHallGill, Hebblethwaite Hall Wood, Dowbiggin, Sedbergh, the #WestDalesVolunteers and #WestmorlandDalesApprentices sprang into action!
The footpath was steep and tricky to navigate, especially when muddy.

Installation of 34 new steps made the steep slope easier to navigate.

grough — Yorkshire Dales bosses urge patience as lockdown rules eased. Having patrolled the northern Dales this weekend it was reassuring to see people heeding government advice. Thank you. grough.co.uk/magazine/2021/0…

One of my roles as a @yorkshire_dales volunteer is to survey the miles without stiles routes. Yesterday I was out and about at Killington Bridge, nr Sedbergh assessing an easy wheelchair accessible route. #accessTOG #wheelshire
