Linda, Lynda, Rich and Stella returned to this path (on a day of torrential showers) to continue work on waymarking, cutting back, sawing fallen tree and branches, mud-scraping and drainage - all those maintenance jobs which keep a path open for walkers to enjoy. The path is well-used and forms a lovely three-mile circuit. We've nearly finished now - just a bit more drainage to attend to, a gate to ease and a waymark arrow to paint on a stone wall.
This work is kindly funded by Ripponden Parish Council. Thank you.
