And the Met Office say that autumn is most likely to be…. wet, windy and mild. What a pleasant change from the arid & desert like summer we’ve all had.

It's been a year since we opened Eskdale Trail 🏞️
The Eskdale Trail is a fun day out for the whole family to explore this western valley. You can catch the La'al Ratty from Ravenglass to Dalegarth and follow the metal fingerposts. Find out more: ow.ly/iVu150ShQJU

Callout last night with @AberdeenMRT for 2 walkers in difficulty on Lochnagar.
Located safe and well in the wee small hours.
Please remember if heading out, read the weather forecast and have the skills and kit to enable you to enjoy your day 👍🏻

We're up in the far north again surveying pine marten populations via scat surveys and camera trapping. Great team from @ForestryEngland @CumbriaUni us, and some brilliant volunteers. Let's hope we can get these mammals back in Cumbria. @ConveryIan @Mammal_Society @MammalWeb

The snow pack is going through freeze thaw cycles which are consolidating & firming it up #microspikes are a very good idea for anyone venturing above the snowline while crampons & ice axe are essential for anyone on exposed terrain such as #sharpedge or the #helvellyn edges Zac
