Well, we tried! On one of the wettest mornings of the last few months (and there has been plenty of competition!) Catherine and Kasher went out to tackle a long list of small jobs . . . unforunately we didn't get very far!
Starting off on the Todmorden Centenary Way (TCW) near the 'Wizard', we worked on a wayward finger-post. Although the post has now been re-embedded, we will need to come back to re-pin the 'flag' as the wooden pegs that hold it in position are rotten. As a temporary measure we improvised with scrap timber which was in the vehicle but a permanent repair with appropriate dowelling will be needed.

While at the stile we also cut back any vegetation around the posts and re-fixed two cross-rails on the TCW link path stile near the Wizard.
We then ventured to 'Top Brink' to sort out a finger-post, below the pub, on one of the Calderdale Way (CW) link paths. We had also hoped to measure up for a replacement stile at the top of the wood above Folly Dam - a problem which had been reported to CROWS earlier in the week. Unfortunately, the increasingly heavy rain defeated us.

Today's work was funded by Todmorden Town Council. Many thanks.
