Jim Langley from Natures Works normally based in North Wales came to Borrowdale in Cumbria to give some invaluable CPD for mountain Leaders on the ecology of the upland environment.
Jim's knowledge and passion are infectious as he put across in great style what we can see and identify around us. 
In a place that I work regularly, this opened my eyes to not only the flora and fauna but the geology of my area of work also.
This the fault line in Combe Ghyll not far from Raven Crag Borrowdale.

Good to meet Ian from Striding Ahead Clare from Alternative Adventure Rachel and Amy.
If you get the chance to get out on a course with Jim and Natures Works please do so. As Mountain Leaders and lovers of a fantastic workplace this will certainly help you enhance your own and your clients days out in the hills.
As Jim wasn't to busy on the Sunday we went with his dad Richard to have a look at Striding Edge on Helvellyn.
Another stunning area alive with features that we sometimes forget to look at while we are gripped to the rocky ridge.
It seems to have a been a play day for a lot of folk including the RAF
Keela also joined in by sitting on the trig point. We met some great groups out. Particularly the ladies from Rainford who filled the car up on the way back to Glenridding! Great end to a fab weekend.
