RYBURN - Bridge and steps at the tail of Ryburn reservoir

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

Eleanor and Jak first cleared off and repaired the bridge treads so that there are now no alarming gaps!

Feels much safer

Next we set to on the steps clearing off several years of debris. We exposed a nice set of stone steps and levelled them off.

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.
