The work on the steps through Scaitcliffe Wood continues. Today Andrew, Jerry and Kasher worked at the top of Scaitcliffe Wood and replaced eight steps on Tod 082. We also cleared the leaves and debris from the steps further down the path so we could judge how many more wooden risers needed replacing! On our next visit to Scaitcliffe Wood we will also need to complete the infilling of the final two steps put in today.
We will also try to tackle the misalignment of some of the stone steps - a task needing careful planning and a few strong people with crowbar skills.
Many thanks to the residents of Flailcroft who allowed us to park in their yard thus making the distance we had to carry tools and timber more manageable.
Today's work has been funded by Todmorden Town Council. Many thanks for your continued support.

Many of the steps are well camouflaged! . . . and the stobs
are a major trip hazard. |
