Three teams today
Rich and Bernard went over to Luddenden Dean to work on the Calderdale Way.
The task was cutting back and removing a collapsed gate.
 |
| Dryclough Lane choked with vegetation |
 |
| Overhanging trees and Himalayan Balsam |
 |
| Strimmed and cut back |
 |
| Easy to get past |
Then . . . on to Jerusalem Farm to put in a waymark post.
 |
| A formerly confusing choice of paths |
Both of these jobs on the Calderdale Way were funded by Calderdale Long Distance footpath Association.
Then . . . on to Dean House Lane to fix a stile.
 |
| All the posts had rotted off:- very unstable |
 |
| New post (thanks to Dean House Farm), new treadboard and 'feet'. |
Meanwhile back at the base
Ken, Ian, Gerald and Peter cut up timber and started painting the posts to go on the path to Gaddings Dam.
 |
| Undercoat done |
After a morning indoors ...
Ken and Gerald went to Hurst Road, above Hebden Bridge, to work on a path that needed cutting back and to uncover a set of causey stones.
