CRAGG VALE - THE WEIR BRIDGES AND PATH

 Stella, Ginny and Mo removed the rotten slats on the two bridges and replaced them with new wood. They also cleared the vegetation off the wooden steps and widened part of the path that had become very narrow, with a steep drop next to it. 






Stella at bridge number one. The sides of the bridge were loose but attempts to tighten them had only limited success.

Ah now you can see the steps leading down to the weir. Ginny, Mo and Stella worked hard on these and hopefully they will last a bit longer with all the vegetation removed from them. The steps at the beginning of the path are now so much easier to negotiate. 


The path was also cleared of balsam (a bit late unfortunately)
