Frank S, Ray, and Frank H were out today at White Field Lane, a narrow sunken footpath between two hedges, that leads from Park Lane up to Erringden Moor. We had a report that a stile was broken and its upper step had come loose. However, we first had to find the stile amongst all the new growth of vegetation. This clearly needs a bit of cutting back!

| 1. Jungle 'warfare'? |
Here's the stile before we started.
 |
| 2. A teetering higher step. Not a surprise - the legs are rotten! |
And here's the end result after replacing both legs of the higher step, cutting back the encroaching vegetation and clearing the drain. Frank H is climbing over as a final quality control test.
 |
| 3. Mmm! That's a difference (see picture 1) |
 |
| 4. Wider and cleaner . . . but may still be slippery when wet! |
This popular route is now much easier to use.
