RYBURN - Mill Bank

 On a hot and sunny day, Eleanor and Jak returned to the Mill Bank area to do repair work on a stile at Lighthazles (Ripponden footpath 012).

After removing the brambles and nettles, the old rotten parts of the stile were taken out. A new cross-rail was installed, the rotten tops of the grab-posts were trimmed and new waymarks were attached.
