Four teams out today mainly doing small jobs around Midgley and Luddenden Valley (too many sites to include a map). Work today was cutting back, widening paths and lots of waymarking. The work was funded by Midgley Community Forum who have generously given us another grant for the coming year. Many thanks.

Ian, Andy and Nick paid another visit to Coal Dike - a path above Midgley giving access to the moor. Revetment was fitted to secure the edge of the path but there is still more to do. Andy, working in horrible slippery muddy conditions, did a temporary fix of the drainage. The path looks better but will need further, extensive work.
