PECKET WELL - Smeekin Pike
Nick and Paul repaired a rotted gate post on the path leading to Smeekin Pike from Crimsworth Farm. It was a sunny day in this pleasant location; One can enjoy great views of Stoodley Pike, Heptonstall, and the Crags from the War Memorial.
Work funded by Wadsworth Parish Council.
Work Undertaken:

We set about digging out the remains of the post and after removal discovered an impregnable rock barrier in the ground:

| Nick getting stuck in! |
Not having the use of a pneumatic drill we did what we could to hack out a fitting hole for the new post. Once the new post was installed we screwed on three rails on the side as a stock barrier.

Thanks to Jack at Crimsworth Farm for parking. We'll need to return to the job at some point to finish off securing the rails.
