On a bright sunny day (as long as you were not in the valley!) a team of four (Catherine, RJ, Kasher and Nick) continued the work on the boardwalk and steps near Obadiah Wood in Cornholme.
The improvements being made are on FP Todmorden 060. We had hoped to install one more boardwalk and a few steps to complete this job but, unfortunately, this was not to be! We will need at least one more session to finish this piece of work.
We had to cancel last week's Friday session because of the snow. Today we had sunshine (hooray) but the job was made slightly harder by the slippery underfoot conditions..
We have constructed one more boardwalk and added a linking section to the first boardwalk. We will return to infill the steps with MOT and install step "platforms" at the ends of the boardwalks.
We would like to thank the many walkers who came along this path (Tod 060) for their encouraging comments and support. It's good to know that this route will be well-used.
Today's work has been funded by Active Calderdale. Many thanks.
