This was definitely a job of two halves. A local resident had reported an overgrown path which runs steeply down the hillside between 2 housing developments. To say it was impassable was an understatement - more like a jungle.

On Day One a small team Jerry, Linda, and Eleanor helped considerably by a local resident, Heather, set to fight our way through the first layers of undergrowth.

Day 2 A team of six people today Ginny, Clare, Angus, Lynda, Jerry and Linda doing more work on the lower end of the path which was particularly bad.
We Started to uncover a fine set of stone steps - not sure when these last saw the light of day!
We had some great conversations with local residents and welcome cups of tea, They reckon that now the path has been properly cleared they will club together to keep on top of it all.
Today's work was funded by Ripponden Parish Council and individual donations. We are grateful to all.
