Working on a delightful bridleway that follows Shaw's Clough.
Lynda leading a work party of
Bernard, Alistair, Ginny and Rich.
First job was to deal with the slippery (lethal) plank bridge .
|
Bernard giving the bridge a good wash |
The main problem was that the path was very narrow, being overgrown with bilberries and some over hanging branches.

Path before |

Path before |
Cutting back the vegetation and scraping the path, we revealed a semi paved surface - very satisfying.

A widened section |
|
Widened path above bridge |
We didn't finish the whole length of the path so we will organise another work party to put in a new bridge and finish the path widening.
|
Having cleaned the bridge and walking across it a few times, we have decided it won't last long
