WALSDEN and BLACKSHAW HEAD

Several separate groups out today battling wind and rain on the tops.

Mick, Ian and Frank S were building up the path at Bridestones with a new delivery of hardcore. Here's the view when we'd just started to clear away the weeds.

This is the delivery with the long arm crane.


And here's the view with the new stone all in place.


The work on Bridestones is funded by Reaps Moss wind farm community fund.

Ginny and Gerald were clearing turnbyes on the Pennine Bridleway above Walsden, but the wind and rain drove us home at lunchtime without photographs.

Tristan and Ken
Battled with wind and rain to install revetments to the Todmorden 141 steps leading up to Allescholes Rd

                                                              Before

                                                           
                                                              Revetments installed

 

Onward & upward after to do another step higher up Allescholes to add another step which Peter and Ken did a few weeks before sorry no picture phone battery went flat

Lynda and Eleanor meanwhile were working on the same path further down the hill, cutting back  to widen the path and generally making  it more accessible and obvious. Like Gerald and Ginny we took no photos this time.
