It was damp and misty but there was no real rain today for Andrew, Angus, Jerry & Stella, which was a blessing on this delightful but rather muddy stretch of the Calderdale Way. Our recent survey identified several jobs on quite a short stretch of path: a stile repair, clearing stretches of overgrown and invisible stone slabs, some waymarking, drainage and some cutting back. A nice varied day for our merry band! Work funded by Ripponden Parish Council, many thanks.

The path.
|
 |
| This stile.. |
..
 |
| ......needed new legs and treadboards |
 |
| Mud cleared & stile repaired |
 |
| A slippery detour had developed around the buried flags.... |
 |
| ......which scrubbed up very nicely! |
 |
| Is there a path here? |
 |
| Here it comes.... |
 |
| .......in all its glory. |
 |
Before we waded in, the water was overtopping a blocked pipe and
streaming down the path. Now it is channeled and bridged
which should provide a dry line for walking. |
