Part of a £30 million project by National Grid, to repair steelwork and replace wires, on an electricity transmission line which runs across Cumbria and Lancashire http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/Media+Centre/PressReleases/2013/National+Grid+starts+second+phase+of+%a330m+project+to+secure+energy+supplies+06.08.13.htm . Trackways have been laid in the field to facilitate access. Where the line crosses roads, railways, rivers etc, scaffolding is erected with safety netting strung across, as seen here on Park Road, Scotby.
