We will keep you regularly updated with Mountain Running Conditions Reports generally from the North Eastern Fells, but sometime farther afield, depending on where we have been running.
Further to the recent post about the Zip Wire proposals being scrapped in Glenridding, we thought it might be appropriate to post what the LDNPA have to say & the local community in response to Tree Top Treks statement & the LDNPA.

Nicola, my partner in crime, has taken the plunge, jacked her job, for the thrill of a better & less conforming life! Well done Nicola. She's recently been on a Nordic Walking Instructors course & will be holding regular classes soon. Today we snuck out the back door for some Nordic Walking action to Red Tarn, Helvellyn.
