HEBBLE HOLE, COLDEN

Team 2 started the project to rebuild the steps down to the bridge. It was HOT!

Ian and Dick worked on the top Section
Bernard, Fred and Richard J worked on the bottom section
Rich and Gerald worked on the central section together with sawing timber for the other teams and providing a supply of ice cold water.

All the growth on the steps was cleared revealing that (as we suspected) the timber was rotten

These were also rotten
Bottom steps ripped out
New set of steps installed ready for infilling on Friday

 Meanwhile at the bottom, the path was widened and where people were walking up a slippery slope some steps were installed.

Rediscovering the line of the path
Now cleared all the way to the bottom

New set of steps installed
 In the middle section several uneven stones were removed and preparation for steps was completed

A narrow section widened to accommodate a step
Work funded by Calderdale Council Highways
