RJ, Catherine and David were Team 2 out in Todmorden on Friday 15 November. They undertook phase three of building boardwalks on Tod 060 near to Obadiah Wood. In the two previous sessions (on 6 and 8 November) we constructed one boardwalk and a set of steps. Today's work entailed building a second boardwalk over the drainage ditch. We still have one more boardwalk and a couple of steps to build; hopefully next Friday.
Today's work was funded by Active Calderdale - many thanks.
First job was to remove stones from the site. The drainage ditch was then widened and deepened. |
The team then constructed the boardwalk. David adds the last couple of lats. |
The boardwalk is positioned over the ditch. RJ checks it's nice and level. |
Stobs are added to keep the boardwalk in place. |
Side rails are nailed on. Then Catherine hammers in staples to improve the foothold. |
All done! |
The final boardwalk, due to be done next Friday, will be the same size and a continuation of this one. |
