RIPPONDEN/BARKISLAND: Village Walk 3 continued and Village Walk 1

 A mizzley sort of day, but it improved gradually! There were 4 of us out , but we split into 2 pairs. Ian and Bernard tackled a broken stile.....



.... unfortunately , we don't have an 'after' picture , but Ian and Bernard completed the job. It was not without some difficulty given they didn't have wire cutters with them , and there was a lot of barbed wire to tackle! They then moved on to do some smaller jobs around Firth House.

Meanwhile Lynda and Eleanor had identified several small jobs on Walks 1 and 3, which needed doing. There will be more no doubt ....

 


  One of which was improving this set of steps up from Withens End Lane near Ringstone Reservoir .




On clearing off years of growth, a waymark arrow on the step was revealed. Goodness knows how long its been since that was last visible.

This work was funded by a grant from Ripponden Parish Council
