Ian and Mo set about removing an old gatepost with the aim of replacing it with a new one before re-attaching the old gate. The problem was, they couldn't unscrew the old hinges! so the gate and old post were taken back to the depot for further fettling ... or possibly the creation of a new gate.
They managed though to fit the new post into the ground after much hard work in creating the hole - the ground was very stony!
.
Meanwhile Ginny and Heidi re-set, waymarked and painted guideposts on the path towards Hoar Side.
Heidi is very handy with a paintbrush. Unfortunately the wind blew the paint on to her nice waterproof.
Heidi then painted the top of the new gatepost while Ian created a makeshift gate until the refurbished one is installed.
With some time left, they all tackled an urgent job on the Pennine Way above Hebble Hole where water was pouring on to the path. The field drain nearby was blocked and needed clearing. It was a very muddy task!!
