TODMORDEN - Swallowshaw and Burnt Acre

There were two teams out from Todmorden today.  Ken and Kasher were repairing stiles between Lower Ashes and Swallowshaw on footpaths Todmorden 023 and 024. Catherine and Mick were reinstating marker posts on footpath Erringden 024 from Stoodley Glen to just below Burnt Acres.

Stiles:  Three stiles very close together all needed work on them to make them both safe and stock proof. On day one we managed to complete one stile, undertake some work on a second stile and measure up for the remaining work to be completed next week.

We also looked at a few other stiles in the area which had been reported to CROWS to see whether they needed urgent work on them.


 One completed stile.







Next week's challenge.











Posts:

The marker posts from the woodland near Stoodley Glen to Burnt Acres were reinstated and additional posts put in. All existing posts were given a fresh coat of yellow paint.

Funding for today's work came from Todmorden Town Council and from individual donations to CROWS, many thanks.


It's just too much fun!
