SEVERAL LOCATIONS

A half-day session spent clearing up a number of small jobs.

Rich and Gerald did a temporary fix on stile leading to Foster Clough. The stile, which is on the MWA children's walks, had steps in good condition but two of the fence posts had rotted off making it difficult to use.

Stile now stable but a more permanent fix will be needed.
Bernard, Stella, Dick and Graham  repaired a stile on the Pennine Way at Mount Olivet Chapel above Jumble Hole. Both of the legs supporting the tread had rotted off and needed replacing.
It was quite difficult to remove the old step legs.

We got there in the end!

easier ways of extracting old rotten posts.
