This morning saw Jak and Angus recover and reposition a fallen bridleway marker post located at the end of Slack lane where it joins Scammonden Road at Park Nook.
Location of the fallen post circled in blue.
The marker post had been previously removed when the stone wall was rebuilt a couple of years ago. It was recently discovered (by a dog walker) lying in the undergrowth next to the wall. When we recovered the post we found that it had a minor fracture two-thirds of the way up its length. Fortunately we were able to 'splint' this defect.
The post as it was found, lying in the grass next to the wall.
This path is well-used by walkers, horse riders, cyclists and the occasional errant delivery driver. The latter think it's a short-cut to the B6114. Mmm! Several have tried, few have succeeded, and many have been dragged out by tractor or recovery vehicle.
The finished job.
This short but important Friday task was funded by public donations to CROWS. Many thanks.
