Workers are repairing a mountain path on Helvellyn. This is the first big repair work since the 1980s. The team will fix damaged parts of the trail. They will use heavy stone for the path. A helicopter will help move the materials. It can carry more than 100 tonnes of stone to the site. The work aims to make the path safer for people who walk there.
