CUTTING UP TIMBER & CRAGG VALE

Ray and Rich received a delivery from the ever-efficient CALVAG. This is the first of many to prepare materials for the boardwalks being installed on Erringden Moor later in the Summer.

The timber will be delivered to Bell House and we are asking walkers, riders, runners and local residents to help by carrying the timber across the moor to the work sites. 

We have organised two 'Big Carry' days on Saturday July 30th and Saturday August 20th. For more information, please look at our website. 

This ambitious project is funded by Calderdale Highways, The Southall Trust, a legacy from Julia Gray, Ben Myers and other donations.

This morning's delivery

130 cross-treads were cut up and drilled ready for the big carry.

Then we went to Moorland Cottages on the Cragg Road to deal with a waymark post and a broken stile tread-board on the Cragg Vale e-Trail.

All fixed


Spot the finger post
There it is!

Then it was up to Coppy Nook Lane to sort out a fallen Calderdale Way finger post.

Shorter . . .but firmer!
