Railway children path - Oxenhope to Haworth

Working with Bradford Countryside Service, improving the path prior to publication of routes between Hebden Bridge, Oxenhope and Haworth.

The route is wet all the way along, so the bulk of work was scraping the mud off the paths and putting in grips and drains. there was also some cutting back and securing one part of the path that was falling into the stream.


 Filling in a mud hole with stone


 New marker post to replace old one which had rotted off


 Drain to take the water off the path, already started to dry out after a couple of hours.


 Second drain, lots of water flowing nicely


 Stepping stones to keep the mud off your boots


It takes a lot of people to fix a drain!

A bit of a bonus while we were working
