TODMORDEN - Cranberry Dam

Mick and Frank S were back at Ramsden Wood Farm across the valley from Cranberry Dam. The weather looked a bit unpromising, so we were reluctant to start on a construction project that would need us to continue in the rain until it was finished. So instead we went back into packhorse mode, and carried more of the timber from the farmhouse out to where it is needed next week for steps and stiles.

As it turned out the weather was much better than expected with just a bit of drizzle and even a glimpse of the sun. Here's a picture of Mick with the wheelbarrow and two bags of ready-cut steps, demonstrating how to avoid tipping it all down a steep gully.


And here's a view looking down on Cranberry Dam to remind you why you might like to visit the area next time the sun shines. White Slack Clough is on the left leading down to Ramsden Wood.
