Bearnshaw Tower:
Problems had been reported with two stiles on the Todmorden Centenary Way between Cornholme and Bearnshaw Tower. On a cold, damp day Ken and Kasher went to try to sort out these stiles.
The issues:
Both stiles had missing tread-boards and were hard to use. However, when we investigated, we realized that more work was needed on both of the stiles.
Current position:
Tread-boards have been replaced where possible but we will need to return to replace some stile legs. We will also fit a dog gate adjacent to the lower of the two stiles (see picture). We will reduce the height of the third step. This stile would also benefit from the addition of a tall grab pole which we will fit on the next visit.

Blackshaw Head – Lower Lane:
After the drainage work, strimming and cutting back along Lower Lane on Wednesday, Ken and Kasher went back to install a few yellow topped posts to aid navigation on this route.
Current position:

| Yellow-topped posts installed |
The improved waymarking of this route should help people to use this wet walled lane and connect with the recently waymarked paths near Lane Side, Daisy Bank . . . and beyond.
