John Butcher was the United Utilities engineer and manager of the aqueduct for 30 years. His talk takes you on a fascinating journey from Thirlmere to Manchester, from conception to completion and current usage. He's kindly supporting Fix the Fells with no fees for his talk.

Work on #Helvellyn. Each #FixtheFells team member tackles a short section - around 10m - joining up as they progress. What a view for a workplace! @nationaltrust @lakedistrictnpa @FriendsofLakes @lakesfoundation @NECumbria
