BLACKSHAW HEAD AND COLDEN



Ian, Frank S, and Gerald

We repaired two stiles near Blackshaw Head. First of all we replaced the tread boards on one of the stiles and also reinforced an upright by installing a shorter post next to the existing one then connecting them together.

Bottom of upright post has rotted away
New tread boards
Additional short post added and connected into existing posts

The other stile required a new supporting post as the existing one had rotted away. The tread board was also in poor condition.

A new post was installed and we made use of some of the old treadboard from the previous stile to complete the repair.
