If you're a proper outdoorsy person who just can't get enough of the Yorkshire countryside, then you're going to want to keep reading.
And that's because one of Britain's best national parks, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, are on the lookout for a brand new ranger who will be in charge of protecting hundreds of miles of beautiful unprotected land. And a whole lot of sheep.
The new ranger will be based in Swaledale and will maintain rights of way while helping landowners and creating opportunities for the public to enjoy the great outdoors.
Matt Neale, area manager of the Northern Dales, told the BBC: “It’s not for everybody. It sounds romantic but last winter was very wet
“It can be pretty difficult. One of the essential criteria is someone who can cope with the physical elements and have the resilience to work outside in bad weather.

“You can set off on a nice day and then be facing wet or snow by the end.”
The job description is as follows: "This is an exciting opportunity, working primarily in Swaledale, focusing on the maintenance of the public rights of way network, other access routes, open access areas and estate management for the Authority.
"You will liaise with landowners and farmers and carry out high quality practical work, enhancing public access, and engaging with users and communities.
"As an integral part of the ranger service, you will be undertaking practical work alone or as part of a team, managing and supervising contractors and volunteers, and co-ordinating and delivering practical work, as required."
If this job seems like a bit of you, then you can apply here on the Yorkshire Dales website. Applications close on Wednesday 20 November.
A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
Beloved late night Leeds cocktail bar The Maven announces permanent closure
Clementine Hall
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
