Dodd Naze
Dick, RJ, Fred, Stella, Graham, Paul and Frank H - the magnificent seven (allegedly) - returned to Dodd Naze to continue last week's work of revetment construction and in-filling for the flight of steps. Here's the day's progress in pictures:
Progress was very good today. Once the in-fill work has settled we will be able to 'top up' the tread areas as well as completing any landscaping.
This slope (aka 'slide of death') is a well used route from Dodd Naze towards Hebden Bridge railway station. Local donations have raised enough funds for CROWS to have made the descent (and ascent) far less hazardous.

| Swagman RJ: actually it's a bag of rubble! |
 |
| Frank H creating a pilot hole for the stob that pins the revetment. |

| Close up of pilot hole. The revetment will be levelled up before nailing! |

| Dick about to start in-fill work on steps. |
 |
| Frank H near the bottom of the flight. Sawing technique? ... moderately good! |
 |
| The gang of seven. Graham took the picture ... ... it must be his doppelganger in the back row! |
