Working at Coniston Boating Centre, I’ve always been proud of my role with the Lake District National Park Authority. I love the fact that I can help people have a memorable experience on the lake, explore the valley on two wheels and I have the most spectacular ‘office view’. But following the coronavirus restrictions, our visitors needed a new type of help – a way to stay safe while exploring the national park. I joined a small team of car park staff, volunteers and partners to become part of a new parking and visitor website: saferlakes.co.uk. – and I couldn’t be more proud.
