BLACKSHAWHEAD

Bernard, Richard J and Rich worked on Trimmer Lane which had been reported to Calderdale Highways, who passed on the work to us.

The Bridleway was quite overgrown and the side drain which was covered in vegetation was overflowing in places.

The overgrown track
 In order to find out what the state of the drain was, we had to strim all the undergrowth off.
Once we could see the drain we set about clearing it out of all the vegetation and silt.

  We managed to do about a third of the length, so will have to return.
