Edge End Moor, Erringden

A gorgeous Autumn day for offering some TLC to a fallen finger post and a dodgy stile on the south side of Edge End Moor below Lodge Hill.  This is on the path which contours around and just below the moor, with fabulous views the whole way.

Stella, Andy and Steve set off from Swillington with a heavy load of tools and some timber to fix the stile's rotten treadboard and supports, and to re-erect the finger post pointing the way to Cruttonstall.

This work has been funded by donations to CROWS.  Thank you for your generosity and support.

Here is the stile
