Neil D and Kasher had a mini clear-up day in Blackshaw Head. A number of small tasks had been reported to CROWS so it was decided to 'tick' some of these off the list. Unfortunately, we have spotted further jobs so the list is still the same length . . . if not a little longer! These will be tackled over the next few weeks, hopefully on a day significantly warmer than it was today!
Today's work included: reinstalling a bridleway markerpost; fettling up and rehanging a small gate; replacing treadboards on stiles, and surveying and measuring up for new work around the centre of BSH.
Funding for today's work in Blackshaw Head has come from the friends and family of Sheena McKerrel, a keen walker who lived in BSH.
