WITH boots, rucksacks and their best foot forward, a clutch of rangers set off on the first leg of a 159-mile trek on Friday.
The 10-day epic to conquer the entire boundary of the Lake District National Park Authority area got underway from its Murley Moss headquarters.
Striding out were a gang of long-established members of the Lake District Volunteers Service - the new name for what used to be the Lake District National Park Authority Wardens.
As well as commemorating the 50th anniversary of the volunteer service being set up to rid the Lake District of litter, the trek was an opportunity to promote the vast range of help volunteers now provide, and to encourage more people to become one.
