Cath, Frank S, Ginny, Ian, Mo, Nigel and Rich tackled several tasks in the bottom of the valley. The main path is a popular route but the first section was quite poor and signage for the permissive path was not clear.

Ginny, Ian and Nigel worked on the site of Upper Lumb Mill in the valley bottom:-
clearing the route over the arch, putting in a waymark post and widening the permissive path.
 |
| It takes a lot of people to decide the direction of the waymark!! |
 |
| Path surface tidied and route is now clear. |
They then put in a waymark post where the permissive path meets the Right of Way. The path also needed mulch scraping off the surface.
 |
| After scraping - less mud on your boots! |

Cath, Mo and Frank S cleared a small permissive path going off from the bridleway down to the walled lane below. This work revealed some lovely stone steps. Here's a holly bush that was growing right across the path and shows how the leaf mould was cleared to make the surface easier to walk on.
A waymark post was put in to alert people to this lovely permissive path, and another waymark post was put in at the junction of two paths and the bridleway, .
