Countryside Care Work Party at Windermere Club Site
4th–10th March
The annual countryside care work party at the Windermere Club Site took place from 4th to 10th March, with fantastic support from members of Lakeland DA and North East Cheshire DA.
Their hard work and enthusiasm made a real difference across the site.
Work Completed
A wide range of tasks were tackled throughout the week, including:
Painting woodwork, fences & buildings
Repairing sections of dry-stone walling
Clearing debris from trees and shrubbery
Removing blockages and debris from the onsite stream
Cleaning all site signage and electrical/lighting posts
🤝 Team Spirit
The comradery throughout the week was outstanding. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked tirelessly to help get the site looking its best ahead of reopening on 14th March.
We received a lovely message from the Treasurer of Wasdale Mountain Rescue (Our 2025 charity):
"Many thanks for your recent donation of £791.85 to our funds. It is a most generous contribution and really appreciated.
The team members, who are all volunteers, are most grateful for your gift. The team covers both Wasdale and Eskdale valleys. We rely entirely on donations from people like yourself.
The money will go towards the cost of maintaining our equipment and equipping new members, so we can continue to help those in need in our area of the fells.
Yours sincerely
John Noake
Wasdale MRT Hon Treasurer"
