BELOW SLACK

Rich, Mo and Ginny worked on two popular paths below Slack.

The two paths highlighted

Work on the first path running down through the woods to Hebden Water was started before 'lockdown'. This lovely path was covered in mulch which when scraped revealed an old paved surface.

A large stone slab revealed


Some of the old stones  appearing

We also put in some side drains to prevent water from running down the path.

 

This work was funded by the National Trust Crags access project 

Ginny and Rich went on to cut back the very overgrown path coming down from Slack - brambles, nettles, overhanging trees ... the usual stuff.

And Ginny dealt with a small patch of Himalayan Balsam.

The top section all cut back

This work was funded by Heptonstall Parish Council
