TRIANGLE - Woodlands and Dodge Royd Wood

Ginny, Billie, Lynda and Rich went to cut back and waymark two sections of the Sowerby Bridge Heritage Walk. Today's work which completes the project, was funded by Sowerby Bridge Town Board. 


The details

The first job was to complete the cutting back of the path from Woodlands up to the school. 

Clearing up the bottom section

Then on to Dodge Royd Wood to put in two waymark posts.

A fine pair of gateposts . . . but with no purpose!

Path originally not waymarked at all; now both ends done.

Finally we went back to Ripponden to look at a path to the disused railway. Some vandalised steps had been removed for safety reasons, making the access unclear and difficult. We will consult Calderdale Highways on a plan to rectify the situation.
