Kasher and Neil D loaded up the small car with everything except the kitchen sink, for a small jobs clear-up day in Blackshaw Head.
The work was in too many sites within BSH to provide maps but over a very wet day we:
- replaced stile treadboards
- firmed up stile step-legs
- added staples to numerous treadboards on countless stiles
- re-attached cross-rails
- added waymarkers
- replaced wooden "flags"
- cut down rotten marker posts
- etc!!
Unfortunately, we have also come back with a long list of small jobs (and not so small jobs) to add to the BSH "to do" list.
Today's work has been funded by very generous donations to CROWS. Many thanks to all.
