A new Right of Way has recently been added to the Definitive Map. This path (Todmorden 216) runs from Pudsey Road, in Cornholme, up towards Obadiah Wood and from there along the field edge towards to a covered reservoir on Shore New Road/Pudding Lane. (see Map).
There were four people working on this path today (Paul, RJ, Catherine and Kasher). We were tasked with adding in more revetments and widening the path. The ground has dried up considerably since last Friday's work party. It was interesting to see how last week's work has settled and how much the widened path had been used.
We installed four new sections of revetment today . . . still many many more to go!
This is an extended project so we will be returning to carry out similar work and some step construction (as needed) before finally waymarking the route.
Many thanks to the resident on Pudsey Road who has kindly allowed use of his yard for timber storage.
This work has been funded by Active Calderdale. Many thanks.

| 3. It's not easy walking on this narrow sloping path. Widening yet to be done. |
 |
| 4. RJ and Paul hammering in the stobs that anchor the revetment. |

| 5. One more section of revetment installed and path widening in progress. |
 |
| 6. RJ and Paul: More widening and levelling. |
 |
| 7. The line of the path has been changed. Previously, the path was narrow, sloping and disappearing down the slope! |
 |
| 8. Even more of the same - wider, levelled and supported at the edge by revetment. |
