GLASS have launched an appeal to raise money to help with essential maintenance on Tilberthwaite Lane in the lake district.
They have set-up a Just Giving page here:
https://www.justgiving.com/Sue-Walker6 for people to donate.
The following quote from the page hopefully explains everything:

To support an appeal by the Lake Distict ranger for the National Trust covering Little Langdale, including the Tilberthwaite UCR which, as you’ll know, is a popular legal route with green laners. The route is suffering quite badly from erosion and, understandably in the current climate, the council feel unable to invest in any maintenance of the surface.
Unfortunately, the erosion is causing two of the historic stone walls to become unstable, and they’re at risk of collapse. This could cause a safety hazard to users, major stock management problems for our tenant farmers, damage to our historic environment, and cost many thousands of pounds to re-erect. The National Trust are planning to deal with this issue pro-actively and reinforce the eroded banks beneath the walls, in order to stop any further erosion – but they really do with your support. Help GLASS support the National Trust in keeping our Green Lanes open. The National Trust understand that vehicles have a legal right to use this route and do not wish to stop them. The work to repair this lane will cost in the region of £4000 in labour and transporting stone.
If you support green laning, please consider donating.
