Zac Poulton is a fell top assessor in the Lake District National Park. Every day in winter these assessors trek to the top of Helvellyn where they take readings and make reports on the weather conditions. This information is then combined with Met Office data to give the best possible conditions reports to visitors to the Lake District.
Niall Grimes hears all about it.
