We worked on the permissive path running from the end of Edward Street into Nutclough.
There were 3 problems: escaped water on the path, uneven and sloping surfaces and encroaching holly.
 |
Water crossing the path in several places
|
The problem was that water was escaping from the main channel and flowing down the hillside.
 |
| Main channel dug out and 2 hours later no sign on the path! |
|
|
 |
Improved crossing on the stream
|
 |
Path widened and levelled
|
Then, on to lower Nutclough where a set of steps, leading to the dam, was overgrown and impassable.
 |
You can see why people don't use them!
|
 |
Steps cleared, but four will need replacing

3. Both teams then worked together to deal with several years mulch on the path by the dam and also higher up at Hurst Bridge.
 |
One section covered in mulch
|
 |
All cleared - should last a couple of years

Mulch clearing funded by donations to CROWS.
