The first day of Spring! We met early at the depot to cut the timber, loaded it up with the tools, and drove to Nutclough Woods.
 |
| The job |
A set of broken and missing steps for replacement and repair. Not surprisingly, people have been avoiding them and walking a slippery line to the side which in time would erode the bank. Encouraged by sunshine, birdsong and a persistent woodpecker we set to . . .
 |
Deciding where the steps should be.
|
 |
Digging out and first fix.
|
 |
Stobs in and nailed.....
|
Then the steps needed a lot of filling, so there was an hour of heave-ho of buckets of stone and gravel from the stream.
 |
| ...and hey presto! |
While Linda and Stella cleaned off the tools, Mo and Heidi went across the stream to replace a rotten slat on a bridge.
Many thanks to The Friends of Nutclough Woods, who funded this work.
