Angus, Kasher and the two Richards drove to the end of Warland Reservoir (thanks to United Utilities). The tasks were:
- Replacing a fallen waymark post
- Levelling and securing five wobbly stone flags
- Fixing a gate catch that had worked loose
- Surveying a section of the path, going down to Gaddings, which is under water!
Work today is funded by Natural England and Calderdale Council Highways,
The details:
 |
| Fixing wobbly flags in the mire. |
 |
| The weather was not looking too good! |
 |
| New waymark post |
Having completed the PW work we went to assess a serious problem on the flagged path down to Gaddings. A short section is submerged either under mire or water. We are proposing to install a boardwalk across here, but will need to take further technical advice on how to secure it! In the meantime, do not walk down there!

| The deeply flooded path down to Gaddings Dam |
 |
| And this is the good section! |
After a brief respite from the rain, it returned . . .
 |
| . . . but at least it gave us an atmospheric view of Manchester! |
