Jerry and Rich went to put in a boardwalk across a very wet piece of ground close to Moorcock Farm. A late start, to wait for the rain to pass over, proved to be a wise choice in this very exposed location.
The work today was funded by Calderdale Ramblers and friends and family of Tim Mihailovik. Many thanks.

The first job was to take out the old rotted 'sleeper' and cut back the sedge.

We have done work before, further along this path, to control the water near a section of old boardwalks. By-and-large this work has been successful, but another visit for 'more of the same' is planned.
