Although the day started with very heavy rain, it ended with the beautiful blue skies of a fine Spring day.</p><p>A team of <b>Mick</b>, <b>Neil M</b>, <b>Neil Mc</b>, <b>Catherine</b>, <b>David</b>, <b>Ken </b>and <b>Kasher</b> spent the day carting bags of MOT up a very slippery hillside to fill in the steps which were built by a CROWS team a few months ago (October and November 2023). To improve the step treads 'geotextile' was put down before infilling with the aggregate.</p><p>We also did some cutting back along the route and sorted out a couple of drainage issues.</p><p>At the moment, the path from the bridge to the top gate is exceptionally muddy but it should dry out with a few days of fine weather.</p><p>We will return to put some side-pieces on the lower flight of steps and will infill these with the remaining MOT.</p><p>This work is being funded by a donation from the Todmorden Wind Farm Fund accessed through the 'Community Foundation for Calderdale'.

Despite the biting wind and driving sleet they managed to install the closure post.

Another short session will be needed to complete this task and to tidy up the site. There are also a number of other outstanding jobs in the immediate area (e.g. waymarking and drainage).</p><p>2) <b>RJ,</b> <b>Neil M</b> and <b>Neil Mc</b> carried out<b> </b>repairs on Back Lane (footpath Tod 031) near Pex Tenements. Here the stream had undermined the causey stones on the path which had then collapsed into the stream. The rebuilt path will need back-filling once the groundwork has settled. </p><p>A new marker post was also added at the junction of Tod 031 and Tod 032. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8PEtyD6N3spQaUNXRlJ8gnXqcNvPO04EY7sRK4bvGxYWOUskjznAxEkBc-hXdsMaLY0Mu9rbNpFUZV4z_wGbMFrdkrZAaVcyyqBnTiMk-G-GAJ1GK-2r_a2BSaQeBfy741ueA4Jz06RdXMEoamN4EZMfl7AmdLswkVYqeqCSUFariThxle1MUGmjw5lA/s1570/Back%20Lane,%20Pex%20Tenements.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1022" data-original-width="1570" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc8PEtyD6N3spQaUNXRlJ8gnXqcNvPO04EY7sRK4bvGxYWOUskjznAxEkBc-hXdsMaLY0Mu9rbNpFUZV4z_wGbMFrdkrZAaVcyyqBnTiMk-G-GAJ1GK-2r_a2BSaQeBfy741ueA4Jz06RdXMEoamN4EZMfl7AmdLswkVYqeqCSUFariThxle1MUGmjw5lA/w400-h260/Back%20Lane,%20Pex%20Tenements.png" width="400" /></a></div><p>3) <b>Gareth</b> and <b>Mick</b>: installed a marker post at the junction of Tod 086, on the trackway from Knott Road towards Hartley Royd.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5cxQ7Jt4_BfW2M5UdXJYLCpaggaol_akKGUU6GmFpGiQFZPgN1Sc9w8oUpqI3Cw8V7jQUeEf-W-BnK9cELl3c6ALAA1A1qKJ8VapRZnJlm58fdWEjfqswRaLyrdC3SQCnQZJHabxV6fOGw5FUSFN2fxMEmjDdRJZX3Pl8M7aEt9zxyiYD8HRpFF1zEDz/s1590/Above%20Knotts%20Wood.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="1590" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5cxQ7Jt4_BfW2M5UdXJYLCpaggaol_akKGUU6GmFpGiQFZPgN1Sc9w8oUpqI3Cw8V7jQUeEf-W-BnK9cELl3c6ALAA1A1qKJ8VapRZnJlm58fdWEjfqswRaLyrdC3SQCnQZJHabxV6fOGw5FUSFN2fxMEmjDdRJZX3Pl8M7aEt9zxyiYD8HRpFF1zEDz/w400-h254/Above%20Knotts%20Wood.png" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>4) <b>Catherine</b> and <b>Kasher</b> after acting as Sherpas, went up Meadow Bottom to repair the bridge above Bents Clough on Tod 029 and to do some cutting back along the track.

totally overgrown with brambles and bracken, along with the weather this
presented an interesting challenge for everyone. Using the electric hedge
cutters, we got straight into it and they made light work of carving a path
through the tangle of brambles to expose and wide and walled path. After a
couple of hours, we had exposed the complete path but as the snow got heavier
it became somewhat muddy underfoot, several small saplings and overhanging branches
were removed using an electric chainsaw and pole saw. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KIRi3rGdDp8J5q8vh4HRjcnJLpDxpUmJmgorfvv68qDUZeL_bUxzaHUNe_fhOEK7jbVztysM7xb8y4zHalHckR-VoYpCwMBgMf2_xyC118HJEJ7QInlnNJkGhhyMCLF9oCuFcQnEJwqBwNDY6kqufXb_AFedwLQGjj95ti3JW8uAFqaChUhjYtEwsTSE/s1600/IMG-20240301-WA0004.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KIRi3rGdDp8J5q8vh4HRjcnJLpDxpUmJmgorfvv68qDUZeL_bUxzaHUNe_fhOEK7jbVztysM7xb8y4zHalHckR-VoYpCwMBgMf2_xyC118HJEJ7QInlnNJkGhhyMCLF9oCuFcQnEJwqBwNDY6kqufXb_AFedwLQGjj95ti3JW8uAFqaChUhjYtEwsTSE/w314-h400/IMG-20240301-WA0004.jpg" width="314" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Linda getting to grips with the electric hedge cutter</b></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is still a bit to do to sort out the drainage at the
lower end of the path where it joins Bottomley Lane, and to clear the material
cut back during today’s work. The result is a clear access path for walkers
which now avoids the narrow bend at Clough House, it is hoped to open up other
footpaths in the area to increase the access for walkers. This is one of the
first tasks undertaken by the Ryburn work party, further increasing the CROWS presence
in this area, please be sure to report any issues you feel CROWS may be able to
assist with via the website – <a href="http://www.crows-coop.co.uk/">www.crows-coop.co.uk</a>

Conditions on both sites were muddy but the weather was dry. The waymark post was put in without much trouble in this pretty location by Luddenden Brook. The stile, located at the end of a narrow snicket leading from Duke Street, had become unsafe to use with both legs rotted through at the base. The rotted legs were removed and two new legs dug in. In addition a grab post was put in on the right hand side of the stile to help folk traverse the structure.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The answer today was seven - too many to actually stand on the bridge at any one time!</p><p>CROWS are trying to ensure that the small packhorse bridge over Daisy Bank Clough/Hippins Clough, in Blackshaw Head, does not disappear. We have agreed with the Mid-Lancashire branch of the Drystone Walling Association that they will rebuild a section of this iconic bridge which is in danger of collapsing into the clough.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJhLkY4z8FNlXRnD1bM4eF14f9YaCwY7McEEBGcO7oZDe717iKFDOgwY7tOsCfiA42cOMyZM47cWX6kXhuQYRd9IYZPimIo48_dvNW74ZO2r2RrmKtQcueM10LVCi7y8iOHg9rTh8mw48oLEK_c2ED5nRq640hWBEkqm7ct26SOCn38PytuBlotEP7HJff/s1520/Packhorse%20bridge.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1010" data-original-width="1520" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJhLkY4z8FNlXRnD1bM4eF14f9YaCwY7McEEBGcO7oZDe717iKFDOgwY7tOsCfiA42cOMyZM47cWX6kXhuQYRd9IYZPimIo48_dvNW74ZO2r2RrmKtQcueM10LVCi7y8iOHg9rTh8mw48oLEK_c2ED5nRq640hWBEkqm7ct26SOCn38PytuBlotEP7HJff/w400-h266/Packhorse%20bridge.png" width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>A CROWS' work party has already cleared the vegetation from around the bridge to expose the stonework that needs replacing. Today's site meeting was to discuss the next steps forward.</p><p>Ken and Frank H will be building the wooden former that will act as a temporary support for the arch of the bridge during construction. Once this is available, the dry-stone walling team will dismantle the collapsing arch, install the former, and rebuild the arch.
