A dream job earning £30,000 working in a British mountain range has opened up – after the 'Lone Ranger' who worked there for nearly 40 years retired.
The job working for the Ysbyty Estate in Snowdonia is on offer after Andrew Roberts, 60, retired last month – becoming the longest serving ranger in Wales. He started working on the remote 20,000-acre estate in April 1983 as an assistant forester and went on to single-handedly establish a Celtic rainforest.
In recent years, Andrew began caring for 29 Welsh mountain ponies that graze the hills - and was nicknamed the 'Lone Ranger' after buying a horse in 2016. The National Trust is now looking for someone to take over the role, which will include fencing, dry-stone walling, tree planting, and peatland restoration.
