CHECKING PATHS DURING 'LOCKDOWN-2'

Having taken advice from several sources, we have reluctantly decided we have to stop doing normal maintenance work during this period.

We will continue to inspect problems and are only able to deal with issues that Calderdale Highways agree puts path users in danger.
 
3 published paths inspected today.....
 
Hebden Bridge Walks Around the Villages - Two Valleys walk.
Heidi and Rich walked this delightful 6 mile walk taking in Hardcastle Crags and Colden Valley.
Plenty of waymark problems, some cutting back needed and a 15inch step needing sorting!

This wasn't a problem, we just liked it!

Tree fallen on a path just off the route

Ted Hughes Colden Clough and Heptonstall Walk
Mo and Ian walked this 4 mile route due to launched next year.

Needs some attention

Several rotten steps

Blackshaw Walks Around the Villages - Land Farm walk 

Ginny and Billie walked out this 3 mile route in the mist. The route was all in good condition with a bit of waymarking needed.

The next step will be to turn all the work identified into Job sheets, ready for when we can work again.
Today's exercise was funded by CROWS.
