ABOVE CROSS STONES, TODMORDEN

Five people out today to deal with a number of problems on the Calderdale Way. A glorious day with wonderful views across the valley.

Dick and Richard J sorted a very awkward stile that had been temporarily nailed up.

Walkers less than 6ft tall will now be able to get over this
 Meanwhile Rich went towards Butts lopping off all the overhanging branches which were forcing people off the path.

Ray and Gearald tackled two stiles, both in very poor condition.

Both tread-boards rotten

All replaced

Three rotten rails and the tread-board replaced
 We then all joined together to deal with two sets of steps crossing a bridleway.

A good before and after photo - steps now twice as wide

Steps uncovered and filled with stone -now much easier to use


All the stiles were then waymarked.
A really great day's work.
