Todmorden - higher than Higher Knowl!
Another wet start to the morning for Mick and Frank H to be installing a series of markerposts on the moor above Higher Knowl. Three post were strategically positioned to indicate rights of way.
This was a existing post which had become loosened by the antics of sheep desperate for a scratch! Solution - dig it out completely, excavate a deeper hole and bed it in firmly . . . very firmly!
Marker-post on right-of-way (Todmorden 128) just above Higher Knowl.
Mick fixing waymark discs. Note the good technique - a stable working position, hammer held correctly and the eyes on the nail being hit.
We also hiked up to Rake End to install a third post. No picture is available but it is just like the others - vertical, installed to the appropriate depth and very firmly packed with rammed rocks and soil . . . . another upper-body workout!
