I spent the morning helping to repair a length of boardwalk across a boggy area on the Pennine Way below Cauldron Snout waterfall on the river Tees.

Most of the effort was spent getting materials down Cauldron Snout with the hazardous drops and huge boulders to negotiate. We were two volunteers and three staff from North Pennines National Landscape.

Here we are, getting ready to descend, passing timber and tools down the human chain we formed. #Volunteer #PennineWay

It's a foggy day by a stream rushing down from Cow Green reservoir. There are pieces of timber on the ground and two women in dark clothing also carrying timber behind those. The ground is rocky with rough grasses.

Down at the work site on Pennine Way. Andy, a fellow volunteer, looking on.

We've just got down Cauldron Snout and are preparing to use the timbers we brought with us to fix this gap and take out other rotten boards. #Volunteer

A fellow volunteer stands beside a length of wooden boardwalk which has some of the timber treads missing, exposing the supporting timbers. Behind is the grey rock face of the Whin Sill, a dolerite intrusion that outcrops in many places in North Pennines. The weather is still but misty.

Job done and this is a view from near the foot of Cauldron Snout. The Cow Green dam just visible. Mist is lifting and turning out another fine day.

Must admit, even with less to carry back up, I was a bit tired after getting back to the top.

View looking up Cauldron Snout waterfall. A peat coloured brown torrent falling over the hard rock of the Whin Sill in the river Tees, Upper Teesdale. The mist is lifting and Cow Green dam is visible at the top of the photo.
