FOSTER DAMS permissive path

The landowner reported rotten steps, rotten slats on the footbridge and a fallen tree across this permissive path - all obstacles to safe passage along this lovely and much-used route at the edge of Hebden Bridge.  Ray and Stella went to see what could be done.

The work was funded by Treetops.




Pretty difficult to clamber over this!


      We took turns at heavy sawing & a lot of heave-ho.      
               


Only one trunk across the path now. 
Clearing this one was a bit above our paygrade -
it needs a chain saw - 
but it is not difficult to get over.
