Below are details of the worksite – but please check the weekly email as these may vary.
Hayfield is on the edge of the Dark Peak area of the Peak District National Park, it is also said to be at the foot of Kinder Scout. MNTV work with the Rangers of the area on a variety of different tasks and on and around the summit of Kinder Scout. Completely away from the hustle and bustle of the City of Manchester and the daily grind, it's no wonder it's one of MNTVs favourite sites to work at.
