HEPTONSTALL MOOR - Pennine Way

Clare, Ginny and Rich (having reviewed the forecast several times!) decided to walk up from the NT car park to the Pennine Way at Clough Head. There were several drainage issues with standing water across the path across the moor. The main solution was to clear/create grips (side channels) to get the water off the path. Today's work (including some waymarking) was funded by Heptonstall Parish Council. Many thanks.


The details

Here's a collection of photos:

Flags appear from the water
Channel narrowed and easy to cross
A dry surface

After getting some deep water off the flagged crossing, we discovered a flag was missing, luckily we were able to use a couple of narrow ones to replace it.

That's enough work for one day!

No rain, even a lot of sun. A really useful work session to have completed before the winter.
