HEPTONSTALL- second session on the causey path at Pike Stone Bank

Neil, Ginny and Rich cleared another section of this wonderful causey path. Cutting back the encroaching vegetation, then uncovering the full width of the causey stones. Slow but rewarding work. Just the middle section left to do. This project is funded by Heptonstall Parish Council. 

The details

We now have well oiled system to deal with this path 

  • First - hedge cutter, shears and loppers to cut back the encroaching brambles, bilberry and sycamore saplings
  • Second - spades and azads (Hoes) to cut back and scrape off the vegetation covering the stones
  • Third - a broom to sweep off the stones
