RJ and Kasher worked on the bridge over Bents Clough and on two nearby marker posts.
The problems:
The bridge over Bents Clough in Bents Wood, above Ratcher Rock, is on a very popular route above Todmorden. This was in a poor condition with many of the cross-treads broken or missing. The handrail was also in need of attention.
Marker posts on the Calderdale Way on Scrapers Lane and beyond Bents Clough needed to be replaced and/or repositioned.Work undertaken:
Missing and rotten cross-treads were replaced and the handrail strengthened, although this may need renewing in the future.

.
One new marker post was positioned on Scrapers Lane and the marker post along a very wet path beyond Bents Clough was repositioned.
More work is needed in this area to improve drainage or to slightly re-route the fp away from the sea of mud. We will also need to cut back the holly which is blocking one of the paths.
Today's work was funded by Todmorden Council, many thanks.
