BLACKSHAW HEAD - Clear up day

 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.

Marker post reinstated on Halifax Lane.

Gate fettled and rehung on BS 021. Gate will need to be replaced.

recreate a gate.

The repaired gate now hung in place. We 
will need to replace this one in the future.


A slightly unorthodox stile which needs
to be replaced.

Stile upright (and fence post) which has seen
better days.

New treadboard added.... but the legs and the 
uprights need replacing!
