A Walk to The Monument for the Launch of Wild Eskdale

Today was the Launch of The Wild Eskdale Project at The Monument at 10.30am so our walk took us up to the Monument for the launch of this exciting project. It was only Tom, David, myself and Bowman & Ruger, David's two dogs. The weather was cold and windy but thankfully the rain stayed away. Tom having a blether with retired shepherd John Armstrong.

Kevin giving his introduction to The Wild Eskdale Project. He has only been employed on this from the end of July and has put a lot of work into getting it to this Launch stage. It is going to be an exciting project and hopefully will bring loads of visitors to this very special area for wild life. 
The Monument was a busy place this morning.

After the launch party we headed back down the hill where there is a considerable amount of tree felling going on.
Looking up the road to Hillhead now that most of the trees have been felled
