Allswell Farm and Nutclough

Three teams out today.

Lynda and Trish way-marked the Calderdale Way near Ripponden 

Ginny, Frank and Gerald started on a drainage problem on the Calderdale Way Link path below Alls Well Farm


.

 Channel to take the water off the path




Hard work this road building!

Rich and Nigel put in a Calderdale Way Link path marker post at a complicated junction below Alls Well farm.

The second marker post above Foster Bridge was unsuccessful so we will have to replace faded painted waymark.

Moved on to Nutclough Woods to begin to deal with a badly scoured path. Several small springs have been tumbling down the hillside, washing the path away.


 Turby put in to take the spring water across the path


Water coming out of a gully across the path. 
The drain was blocked and the gully was choked

Doesn't look much, but the water now goes under the path 
instead of washing the surface away

More to do on this path next week.
