TODMORDEN - Cornholme and Walsden

Mick and Ian V spent a warm day investigating a couple of reported problems around Cornholme and fixing a flag on a a finger post in Walsden.

First off was a walk up the hill at Green's Clough to check out some problems on the the Todmorden Way in anticipation of the Tod Boundary Walk that will take place on July 5th.

About half way up there had been a report of a broken stile shown on the right below. However, it's clear that the gate next to it is no longer in use so there is little point in repairing a stile that no-one will use! So, we just moved the gate out of the way.

A bigger problem was near the top of the clough where there has been some erosion around steps that had been constructed some years ago.

Repairs here will have to be done before the Tod Boundary Walk takes place.

After lunch at the top of the clough it was off to fix a finger post below Bottomley and next to Lightbank Lock 31 on the canal in Walsden.

This was funded by a personal donation - many thanks.
