CALDERDALE WAY, Midgehole: Day 3

 Only five CROWS out today to build the bottom steps, infill all the steps and create the mountain bike bypasses.

Top steps all sorted and a clearer route for mountain bikers to use. 

A couple of bikers tried out the route -  OK!

The next set of steps were infilled and a biking route put in to avoid the steps

The gravel will eventually tone down

The bottom set of steps were built to replace a 24 inch drop

Not a good step for any kind of user!


 

New steps built

The completed steps, again with a bypass route for bikers

While we waited for the gravel to arrive, we made a start on widening the riverside path so that we can install wooden revetment at a later date.


Overall, three good days of hard work but very rewarding. Our aim was to reduce the water damage to this important path and make improvements so it caters for all users.

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

Three weary CROWS at the end of the day!
