We are holding two online information sessions\, which will be for about an hour\, on Tuesday 3 March and Monday 9 March\, to share more details of how to get involved. \nThe route attracts thousands of walkers every year and when combined with temperamental weather conditions the trail can become a victim of its own success\, with the ground underfoot becoming boggy and eroded\, and stiles and gates becoming difficult to use. \nHow can you can get involved?\nWe are looking for:- \nChampion volunteers – people who will ‘adopt’ a stretch of the Pennine Way. This involves walking a designated stretch of the route 3 to 5 times per year and reporting any problems. \nBuddy volunteers – those who may be available to double up with a champion on certain stretches and help with transport logistics from the start to the finish of the route.. \nMaintenance volunteers – those that can help with a regular programme of practical works including stile repairs\, drystone walling\, path resurfacing and drainage works. \nJoin a session without commitment\, find out about what is entailed with each of the roles\,  and to let you know how you can register your interest and what the next steps will be. No prior experience is required but an appropriate level of fitness suited to the volunteer role would be beneficial. \nPlease register to attend one of the two events here via our TicketSource platform. \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\nIf you have any other questions or are unable to attend one of the designated information sessions\, please feel free to contact Adam Crolla at adamc@northpennines.org.uk or Emma Harle at Eharle@northpennine.org.uk URL:https://northpennines.org.uk/event/pennine-way-volunteer-information-sessions-online/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online talk,Volunteering ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpennines.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/pennine-way-kissing-gate-volunteer-baldersdale-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="North Pennines National Landscape":MAILTO:communications@northpennines.org.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260307T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260307T130000 DTSTAMP:20260404T155914 CREATED:20251208T112328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260126T113802Z UID:10002047-1772877600-1772888400@northpennines.org.uk SUMMARY:North Pennines Young Archaeologists' Club DESCRIPTION:North Pennines YAC is open to everyone aged 8–16 years interested in archaeology. \nBecome a member of the North Pennines Young Archaeologists’ Club (YAC) and get involved in all sorts of activities\, including visiting and investigating archaeological sites and historic places\, trying out traditional crafts\, taking part in excavations\, and lots more. \nThe club meet once a month on a Saturday at Alston Moor Recreation Ground and Pavilion\, 10am to 1pm.

Volunteers can register for any day\, and any number of days. Dates in March are 10-14\, 17-21 and 24-28. Ideally suited for 18+. \nAs a volunteer you will help conduct these surveys in a variety of ways\, utilising technology such as laser scanners\, global positioning systems\, and drones. As well as more basic technology\, such as dumpy levels\, measuring tapes\, and drawing implements. Training will be provided by experts from Elder Archaeology. \nPlease sign up using the system Better Impact  \nFuture opportunities. \nOver the next two years there will be two month-long opportunities to participate in archaeological surveying on sites in the North Pennines National Landscape and UNESCO Geopark as part of the Land of Lead and Silver project. Elder Archaeology CIC will provide instructions and guidance as you compile your own surveys across these sites. No experience is required\, and all equipment will be provided\, however it will require lots of walking across uneven moorland in inclement weather\, so warm and waterproof clothing is strongly recommended.
