Lovers of the Three Peaks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park are being asked to vote for conservation work that is in the running for a £30,000 award.

The European Outdoor Conservation Association is offering to fund repairs to a section of the footpath network near Pen y ghent that is in urgent need of attention.

But the scheme will only go ahead if it receives the vital funding it needs – and that will only happen if people go online at lfto.com/conservation from Wednesday and vote for the Yorkshire Three Peaks route. Voting closes on March 23.

Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust director David Sharrod said: “We believe the Three Peaks Project would be a truly deserving winner.”
