TODMORDEN

Mick and Ginny, trying out Monday work parties, reset 2 waymark posts and repaired a stile before doing some exploratory work on a 'track' off Duke's Cut, Blackshaw Head 21.



Fallen finger post on Tod 103, Stones Road, now upright (though slightly shorter)




Waymark post re-erected at the top of Peacock Lane, Tod 144




Missing treadboard replaced on Tod 21, going into the field with the smoot holes!


It may be useful soon to know how to catch rabbits.  You put a cage on the low side of the wall.  The rabbits run through the hole from the higher field, fall into the cage and the lid closes.  Dinner!



There have been complaints to Highways about the 'footpath' in the field above, so we went to find it.  Luckily the ground was frozen solid so we didn't fall into the bog, but the part dug watercourse leading into it explains why it is not currently reclaimable.  Discussions are ongoing!
