Stoney Lane Pecket Well
Paul and Peat were out today along with Ginny (in part) on our annual cut-back of Stoney Lane, an old causeway path that starts behind Co-op Buildings in Pecket Well and winds round the rear of the village to meet up with the main road above Wilcroft Terrace. This route is part of Walk 1 of the "Walks around Pecket Well" leaflet.

Work funded by Wadsworth Parish Council - thank you!

| Tall grasses encroaching. |
The grassy stretch at the top end of the path becomes heavily overgrown in the summer months. Paul attacked this stretch with a brush cutter.
 |
| A good trim. |
Further down, where the it narrows before a bend, the path becomes clogged up with an entanglement of bramble, Rosebay Willow Herb and Wild Raspberry.
 |
| A wee bit clogged up! |
Peat and Ginny tackled this patch and were able to find a way through!

Peat was hard at it
 |
| There's a path here somewhere? |
A large 'forest' of Himalayan Balsalm engulfs the bottom end of the path.
 |
| Triffids abound! |
This was chopped down unceremoniously...
 |
| That's better! |
I think it's safe to say that this iconic Pecket Well path is now a much more pleasurable walk!
