TODMORDEN - Mankinhole Tops

 Ian and Rich went to rebuild a second stile on Tod 177

Both side-posts had completely rotted and needed replacing.

This stile clearly has had a long history!

We found both the original post holes; so just had to dig them out.

A recalcitrant post that refused to come out

 

Should have brought the shuvholers

Both new posts erected and cross rails re-attached. The farmer is coming back to sort the temporary side section to make it stock proof.


The whole stretch of path was then waymarked. 

We were a bit worried by the heat, but we were revived by a wash in the troughs at Mankinholes and some refreshment at Top Brink.
