STONEY LANE PECKET WELL

The stones on Stoney Lane are gradually being exposed.

On Friday 17th July Mo and Ian V started work on cutting back and widening the path along Stoney Lane in Pecket Well.

... and looking down





















At the same time Ian S and Nick started to sort out a drainage problem at the bottom of the path.



Some improvements to the drainage needed here

Meanwhile, clearing and cutting back the vegetation was starting to improve the path.

But further down the path it became clear that there were original causey stones underneath the vegetation so Nick, Ian S, Mo, and Ian V set to work to expose them.

Stones starting to be exposed
 It was decided to return the following week on Friday 24th when Mo, Nick, Paul, and Ian V went back to continue the work.  Nice day but hot and heavy work resulted in more of the path being revealed - very satisfying!
At the end of the day a good stretch has been completed, ...
.... but there's still more to do so we'll be back!
