TODMORDEN and BLACKSHAW HEAD - Various

 There were three teams out from Todmorden today:

1    Catherine and Neil M: drainage work in Obadiah Wood in Cornholme (see separate blog).

2    David and Andrew: step building at Keelham, at the junction of Tod 015 and 016.

3    Ken and Kasher: Modification to a stile at the junction of Blackshaw 046 with Cow Side Lane (Blackshaw 054) and then step infilling on Tod 133 in Ramsden Clough.

Today's work has been funded by individual donations to CROWS. Many thanks.

Team 3: Ken and Kasher returned to a stile near Cow Side Lane to improve a recently installed dog gate adjacent to a new stile (which was not built by CROWS). The improvements should deter lambs but still allow dogs to pass.
