STAFF from Rock and Run mountain specialists in Ambleside will be spending tomorrow at the foot of Raven Crag, playing their part in maintaining safe access to the popular Langdale crag.

Andy Hyslop, owner of Rock and Run, was introduced to the National Trust scheme by the Lake District Tourism and Conservation Partnership, and staff completed the first phase of work before foot-and-mouth delayed the project.

Volunteers have already mended walls and fences and built a new access path and culverts.

Rock and Run have once again mobilised their climbing customers to lend a hand and this weekend's work will include planting indigenous juniper to help stabilise the access route.

National Trust staff will provide materials and supervision and the Old Dungeon Ghyll will again host a meal for the workers.
