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.
