BARKISLAND AND RYBURN RESERVOIR

 2 jobs, today, for the team of Jak, Rich, Jerry and Lynda. 

First job (for Calderdale Highways) was fixing a stile and some cutting-back in Barkisland.

Second job was dealing with step issues and the slippery surface on a bridge over Bogden Clough (a tail on Ryburn reservoir). This work was funded by the Ryburn Bash. 

 BARKISLAND

Stile was overgrown and the wire fence across it was a trip hazard. 

All sorted

BOGDEN CLOUGH

 The bridge was very slippery, so staples were added to the cross-treads..

A rotted step needed replacing. 

 Then the stone steps on the other side needed clearing by cutting back the considerable overgrowth. 

 

On the track back to Long Causeway, we dealt with some standing water across the whole width of the track. It was lovely to see the water going into a drain below!

 Finally, we went to look at a reported problem at Pike End Road above Rishworth - but that's work for another day.
