TODMORDEN and ERRINGDEN

Various Tasks!

Today's trio from Todmorden (RJ, Gareth and Kasher) tackled a number of small outstanding jobs on Todmorden 034 (the TCW near Stock Hey) and on Erringden 014 (above Height Wood):

a) Reinstating the finger post at the top of Erringden 14 which points along the top of Height Wood towards Burnt Acre and Cruttonstalls.

b) Further improvements to protect the Erringden 014 footpath from being washed away by the water flowing from a hillside drainage pipe.

c) Replacement of the top cross-rail on the stile half-way along Erringden 014.

d) Reinstating marker posts below Burnt Acre and at the junction with Erringden 024.

e) Clearing debris from near the stepping stones across Stoodley Clough below Stock Hey. Hopefully the removal of some large rocks and clearance of the shingle will allow the water to flow more easily and allow people to cross this clough on the stepping stones.

f) Repositioning of the finger post near the canal at Stoodley Glen, way marking and adding staples to the treadboards of the two stiles here.

Today's work was funded by Little Box Consulting Ltd.
