WADSWORTH - Crimsworth Dean

The footpath known as Wadsworth 036 starts from Wheat Ing and runs south along Crimsworth Dean towards Pecket Well. Today in the sunshine it was looking particularly good with owl, heron, curlew, and chiffchaff to be seen or heard. A team of four: Andrew, Frank S, Guy, and Steve were working to improve the path and make it easier for walkers. This included a new marker post half-way down the drive to Wheat Ing, lots of drainage work to clear the water off the flooded causey stones, cutting back of conifers and holly, and adding staples to a boardwalk to give walkers a better grip.

This work was funded by Old Town Post Office donations. Thank you for your support.

Thanks also to Wheat Ing for allowing us to park in your driveway.
