WHEAT INGS ABOVE CRIMSWORTH

The weather was appropriate for Mo and Ginny to try and reduce the bog surrounding the causey stones running across the field beyond Wheat Ings below the Old Haworth Road.  A few weeks ago, we received many thanks on Facebook for working on the path that dips down to the stream (It looks much much better now), so we thought we should finish the job!

On our way there, we stopped on Sandy Gate to replace a fallen marker post on the permissive path down to the Birchcliffe Centre.  It's a bit shorter now! . . . but still useful.


                                                Back in the bog, the picture shows the problem.


We needed to dig channels beside the stones and down from the path to take the water away.


A few hours later, after a lot of hard, backbreaking work there's a big improvement!
