Well then! What a turnout. Huge thanks to Columbia Sportswear and Sam from Peaks & Pubs for joining us with our loop of sunny Ulverston to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. We couldn’t be happier with that one. The weather held out and even got a bit of sunshine toward the…
Last week, we swapped the office for the woods and returned to a site we first visited in 2025 to continue removing Himalayan balsam — an invasive plant that threatens our native and ancient woodlands. After meeting up with Olivia from the Lake District National Park and Ewan…
