There were three teams out from Todmorden today:
Team 1: Duncan and Ken completed the work on Tod 209 off Swineshead Road by replacing the handrail adjacent to the very irregular steps.
Team 2: David and Neil Mc rebuilt the stile on BSH 051. This involved a long carry with tools and timber down Cow Side Lane. They were ably assisted in carrying of the items by Mick and RJ before they went to start their own work. We will need to return to this job next week to replace the step legs and treadboards, and to affix waymarks etc.
Team 3: Mick and RJ: carried out further drainage work above Ashenhurst on Tod 029. There are no photographs of this work. Just think mud, water, soft rush, and even more mud!
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.
Funding for work undertaken by Teams 1 and 3 has come from individual donations to CROWS. Many thanks for your kind donations to ensure that we are able to keep the footpaths and bridleways useable.
