Video corner: School's out for Fix the Fells
The role of the FSC in the project was to raise the awareness of Cumbrian school children to the issues of footpath erosion in the Lake District National Park. Five Secondary and two primary schools from around the Lake District brought over 500 students for FSC run day trips to the fells.
But enough talk about the project, luckily for us, students nowadays have dispensed with the written word and are naturals in front a camera.
We've uploaded some of the footage. We'll leave it up to you to judge whether their camera work or path work is where their talents lie.
Video corner: the lowdown from High Wray Basecamp
A word from Rob Clarke (Director): "It's all shot on the 'video' mode of our little compact cameras so please excuse the video and sound quality. It's also hosted by Rob, so excuse also the ameturish presentation! Thanks to all involved - let us know what you think of it!"
