HARDCASTLE CRAGS

Big Scrape 3 continued. Gerald, Rich and Frank H, joined National Trust staff and volunteers to work on the riverside path towards Widdop Gate. Good progress today.

All the mulch cleared from the path yesterday now cleared away



A stretch of path cleared of mulch


Riverside section of the path widened
Experimental channels to capture water off the hillside

Cleared steps

Great stone causeway to get over a really wet section

Stone steps refigured

Carrying the tools up Widdop Gate steps at the end of the day - tiring!
Next job is a bit of widening of the riverside path and clearing Widdop Gate steps.
