briefing for the work party in wind and heavy rain

preparing to enlarge the gap and then rebuild it ..

.. on a lovely spot below Bowness Knott

folk from muckin4life came along to promote their photo competition ..

.. so smiles all round for the cameras ..

.. while some volunteers are actually working

trying to get in close

a lovely spot on a good day with Ennerdale Water behind ..

.. but wet and windy today - not good news for the cameras

a good turnout nonetheless ..

.. but volunteer coordinator Tim and ranger Val decide we've done enough
