On a humid, slightly midgey day Frank H and Stella went first to Old Chamber and then to Wood Hey Lane.
On the field path below Old Chamber we replaced the rotten and dislodged treadboard on a stile. This had been reported by a local walker via our website.
After that we went to
Wood Hey Lane and took the path down through the woods to a small stream crossing. On one side a step, rotten and undercut by the water, needed replacing. On the other side a slippery descent was improved by making three steps. We used large river stones for the bottom step, installed a wooden step above it, and dug out around handy horizontal tree roots to create the top step.

Further along the path, we put in a new waymark post, replaced another rotten stile-tread and cut back the holly . . . all to make a walker's life a little easier!
Today's work was funded by donations to CROWS. These donations make such a difference to how much work we can do. Thank you.
