I spent the morning helping to repair a length of boardwalk across a boggy area on the Pennine Way below Cauldron Snout waterfall on the river Tees.

Most of the effort was spent getting materials down Cauldron Snout with the hazardous drops and huge boulders to negotiate. We were two volunteers and three staff from North Pennines National Landscape.

Here we are, getting ready to descend, passing timber and tools down the human chain we formed. #Volunteer #PennineWay

Down at the work site on Pennine Way. Andy, a fellow volunteer, looking on.

We've just got down Cauldron Snout and are preparing to use the timbers we brought with us to fix this gap and take out other rotten boards. #Volunteer

Job done and this is a view from near the foot of Cauldron Snout. The Cow Green dam just visible. Mist is lifting and turning out another fine day.

Must admit, even with less to carry back up, I was a bit tired after getting back to the top.

That sounds like extreme volunteering! Well done, it sounds like the maintenance work was much needed.
