COTTON STONES

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.

 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
