BARKISLAND : WOOD END LANE between BRANCH ROAD AND SADDLEWORTH ROAD






Today Jak and Eleanor re-visited part of the Greetland walk out of the Barkisland Village Walks Leaflet. This section is mainly a bridleway. Over the summer it has become very overgrown.



 

After a bit of brushcutting the way was clear. 




These steeps steps lead to the bridleway from the field above and with the overgrowth were rather hazardous.



better ...... and then on to the main path........






Eleanor's first lesson in using the brushcutter ..... 



the professional .....



We made a lot of progress but need to return for a couple of hours to finish off ( for this year anyway)
