There were three teams out from Todmorden today:
Team 1: RJ and Neil Mc returned to Scaitcliffe Woods on Tod 082 to install a few more steps, clear the footpath area to expose hidden steps (and stobs), widen the path near the steep drop and measure up for the revetments (soon to be replaced).
Team 2: Catherine and Kasher acted as porters for team 3 by carrying timber and tools to Staups Moor and the bridge which was repositioned by last Friday's work party. Then they went to the upper reaches of BS 044 to replace two rotten steps and cut back the vegetation which was making this short section unwalkable. Finally they moved on to Tod 177 above Haugh Road to cut back the vegetation on the lower reaches of this path.
Team 3: Mick, Ken and Gareth returned to Staups Moor to a) build a step platform onto the repositioned bridge and b) install two short legs to a stile on BS 044.
Today's work was funded by Todmorden Town Council and by individual donations to CROWS. Many thanks.
Thanks too to Andrew Mossman of Daisy Bank Barn for providing additional timbers to complete the step platform near the bridge and for allowing us to park at his house.
