POPPLES COMMON AND LOBB MILL

Bernard, Ian, Heidi and Ginny responded to a request to work on the bridleway which goes in a SE direction from Popples Common down Murkin Lane.  It was not hard to see why riding a horse down this route would be dangerous, if not impossible!




















However, with various techniques, we managed to make it a lot easier to access.

Looking good

We then moved on to Lobb Mill car park and another bridleway, this time going up to Rodwell End.


Can you spot the marker post? 

More obvious after some nettle slashing.

A lot of work on overgrowing trees restored it to use as a bridleway.


Work funded by individual donations.
