HARDCASTLE CRAGS

The Great Scrape:- Day 1

Frank, Nigel, Gerald, Ian and Rich worked with National Trust volunteers scraping all the mulch off the beginning of the Widdop Gate Loop path.

Off to the Crags with the tools


A good surface covered with 3 inches of mulch

A narrow section through the mulch

Work in Progress
Synchronised scraping

Will they ever stop?

A cleared section (with disappearing volunteer!)

A completed section

We completed 300 metres by about 2 metres wide and the mulch was about 8cms deep.
We reckon that is about 48 cubic metres of mulch (or have we got the decimal place wrong)!
Next section tomorrow.
