CRAGG VALE - Wood Top

On a beautiful sunny day, Ginny, Jan, and Frank S were out in Cragg Vale at Wood Top above the Robin Hood Inn. Here there's a lovely old path with causey stones and an unusual stone drain alongside. Winter rains have flooded down the path, washed debris into the drain, and overflowed into deep puddles. The day's task was to clear the drain, get the water off the path, and cut-back encroaching brambles and trees.
