Fix The Fells
Fix the Fells are a team of skilled and extremely dedicated rangers and volunteers. Their mission is to protect and reduce erosion in the Lake District; a UNESCO World Heritage Site and perhaps one of Britain's best-loved landscapes - a place worth protecting. Their invaluable work involves tackling the erosion problem head on by heading into the Lake District fells throughout the year, to repair and maintain 344 upland paths covering 410 miles (661kn).
As part of Montane’s commitment to protecting our playgrounds and correcting our path, we are proud to support the tireless work of Fix the Fells volunteers and rangers. Keep reading to find out how and what you can do to support their cause.
By working together we’re helping to keep the Lake District a special place for future generations to enjoy.

“We always look forward to working with Montane, whose values so align with ours. They’re diligent, focused, and understand the issues facing the uplands. We know we’re going to achieve good work looking after the Lake District’s mountain paths and landscapes together.”

Correcting our path. Protecting our playground.
Giving back on Black Friday has been our stance since 2019, supporting a range of environmental and climate-driven projects. We're committed to protecting the great outdoors which is why we have chosen to support Fix the Fells by ripping up the Black Friday rule book and donating the marketing budget to Fix the Fells.

Taking Action
It’s no secret that we here at Montane love exploring the mountains of the Lake District National Park in our spare time. So, it was a privilege for some of our Montane HQ team to join forces with Fix the Fells for a day of fixing paths on Helm Crag, Grasmere.
“A day out with the Fix the Fells team provided a hands-on appreciation of the level of commitment, hard work, and determination this group has towards making a difference in protecting the future of our outdoor spaces.”

George Fisher Tea Round
The Tea Round is an inspiring 30-mile challenge taking in 12,000+ feet of ascent of many iconic Lake District peaks. In 2021, we partnered with the Tea Round and Fix the Fells, to help better protect the trails found on this route.
Anyone who takes part in the challenge is encouraged to donate to the upkeep of the paths traversed as part of the route. Montane matches funds each donation made.
