People who like to go walking in the Lake District might want to respond to a
plea from a group hoping to redevelop several highland rambling
trails.

Friends of Nevis has appealed to all walking enthusiasts to help
them in their efforts to maintain and repair some of the trails
found on and around Britain’s highest mountain over the weekend of
August 13th to 16th, according to Grough.

The organisation – which was set up in February 2008 and seeks
to give as many individuals and organisations as is possible the
opportunity to support one of the UK’s most iconic walking
destinations – has coincided its event with the John Muir Trust’s
litter picking activity.

A spokesperson for the group told the news source that the main
area it is targeting for this project will be “below Lochan Meall
and t-Suidhe” as it wants to get to a stage whereby all sections of
this track have been “checked and maintained by our volunteers
during 2010″.
