BELOW WINTERS

A fine day of footpath fettling on the path running west through Knott Wood below Winters.

Paul, Ray and Stella repaired a bridge, put in a waymark post, sawed off some overhanging branches and widened the path, which was in places ankle-breakingly close to the steep downside slope.   There are still three wobbly waymark posts to re-seat, another stretch of  path to widen and quite a lot of cutting back to do next week.
This work is being funded by Calderdale Highways Department

Not very safe, and it wobbled too.....


...but not any more.

First carry the materials.....

...then dig the hole....

...bed in the post and add the waymarks.


Wider flatter paths for ease and safety.
