CALDERDALE WAY, MIDGEHOLE: Day 2

Same crew as last Friday on another great sunny day.

 Roadside steps

Three installed, but we needed to put in one extra.

The new steps make a good lunch spot

End of the day - bottom step needs filling

 

The steps were 'top dressed' with MOT which should set rock hard. It looks a bit 'shouty' but it will dull with time and the Pennine weather.

Steep step

Extra step put in and all the steps were infilled and a couple of mountain bikers tested the steps bypass.

Small amount of work left to do on bike bypass

Broken stone step

One of the steps was missing and we discovered it in the undergrowth 

Something about rolling a stone uphill!

Step reinstated and secured - now waiting to be back-filled

The drain

The drain is now all dug out, we just need a good downpour to test it.

That was a lot of shovelling!

Calderdale Highways will connect the drain with a stone cross drain.

Day 3 will be next Wednesday when we hope to construct the lower steps and finish the infill. 

This work was funded by Calderdale Highways and donations to CROWS.
