RYBURN - Ripponden to Rishworth Riverside Path

Today saw Ken, Jerry and Jak out on the Riverside Path. First at Pretoria Bridge where we installed a new handrail to help walkers up and down the sometimes slippery steps.

Handrail completed

Testing testing!

We also cut back the overhanging branches

Next we moved onto Slitheroe Bridge for more handrail work. It's only a short section of steps and we are intending to improve the steps themselves in the future. This handrail already makes it easier to ascend and descend.

Sitting down on the job!

More testing!

Handrail in place


Some amazing fungi seen later on in Rough Hey Wood - these are the perks of the job

Today's work was supported by a grant from the Russell family. Many thanks.
