The bridge and steps form part of a circular walk around Ryburn reservoir. The bridge had missing boards and the steps were slippery.

We will return to secure the bottom step.
This is a lovely walk and it was a pleasure to work amongst the autumn colours.
This work has been kindly funded by Ryburn Bash. Many thanks to them.
