CRAGG VALE -2 sites

Frank S and Rich went to the wooded hillside behind Royd Ices on Cragg Road to do cutting back and waymarking (there had been an official diversion on the paths in this area).

When you have done a nice walk down Cragg Vale and arrived at Dauber Bridge, you are faced with a long (and somewhat dreary) road walk into Mytholmroyd. This woodland path, which comes out at Hall Bank Lane, is a lovely alternative. 

When we finished, we went to sort out some signage on Coppy Nook Lane - a lovely drive with blue sky and snowy landscape. 

Today's work was funded by Calderdale Highways Rights of Way. Many thanks to Revoplas for allowing us to warm up in their canteen.
