B4RN has named one of its moleploughs 'Little Walter', in memory of B4RN stalwart Walter Willcox.
Daughter, Anneli, said: "I clearly remember the first time he drove a moleplough, he raved about the speed at which cable could be laid."

B4RN was championed during a parliamentary debate on #digitalexclusion earlier this week by INCA chair, Tim Stranack. #teamB4RN volunteers and staff are delivering #gigabit #fullfibrebroadband to rural communities on the wrong side of the #digitaldivide.

Reaching the hard-to-reach. Work started yesterday on a c2.5km route to connect a remote customer at Adamthwaite, in #Ravenstonedale. A #teamB4RN project will build to all properties in a project area (so long as we can get the relevant permissions), not just the easy ones.
