WIDDOP GATE

Nigel, Ginny, Gerald, Ruth, Frank S, Lynda and Rich formed three teams.

 Ruth, Frank S and Lynda worked on clearing the steps of encroaching vegetation. Later to be joined by everyone else.

And from above
Wooden steps - some before, some after and some in progress



Steps all cleared



 Rich and Ginny worked on widening and re-routing the riverside path and dealing with some drainage issues.

Gerald and Nigel put in some revetment on a path that was beginning to break up

New revetment now well secured

Meanwhile, back at the depot, Frank H did a morning session with the saw to improve considerably the stock of risers and stobs. He also ate all the biscuits but, overcome with guilt (not much!) replaced them ... including some that featured chocolate! Hooray!
