a Lake District National Park work party beside Newlands Beck


wheelbarrows beside Newlands Beck awaiting work on the path


the bridge over Newlands Beck below Uzzicar


looking back over this old bridge


spreading stone over the path with Bleaberry Fell beyond


spreading stone over the path to make it more accessible for disabled users


raking the stone before the machine to flatten it is brought in


diverting to an auxiliary task of dismantling an old fence


beech trees beside the old fence


coiled wires from the old fence looking west to Barrow


hammering in posts for the new fence


looking up Newlands Beck to Catbells and Maiden Moor


on the new path with Causey Pike in the distance


completing work on the new path with this machine which consolidates the new surface


new leaves beside the path with Causey Pike beyond


the bridge over Newlands Beck below Uzzicar


looking back over the bridge to Skiddaw and Swinside


looking over the Newlands Valley to Catbells on the return cycle ride


looking over Portinscale to Lonscale Fell and Blencathra from the same spot
