MYTHOLMROYD - Broad Bottom and Redacre

Angus, Jerry and Rich went to sort out a reported dangerous stile and six steps that had rotted off on the 'Children's Bluebell Walk' in 'Making Tracks' - a publication available at The Blue Teapot and The County Bridge Cafe. 

Today's work was funded by an individual donation.

THE STILE

Both legs supporting the treadboard were completely rotted through. 

                                           New legs, a take-off stone and a recycled treadboard.

 THE STEPS

We started by scrapping off several years of leaf mould and, surprise surprise, there were a lot more than six steps needing attention! We put in the six we had planned and then counted that another nine were needed! - a job for next Wednesday. 

                                                                            What steps?

All the steps scraped clean; more rotten steps revealed; six steps replaced and work for next Wednesday identified.
