Ginny and Rich went to sort two smallish jobs - a drainage issue on the Pennine Way above Underbank (funded by Natural England and Calderdale Highways) and a reported mulch issue above the Eaves Estate (funded by donations to CROWS).
PENNINE WAY ABOVE UNDERBANK
This was an issue we spotted on our recent Pennine Way survey. A stream was flowing across the path and already beginning to scour the path. Unfortunately today it was dry!
 |
| There is a stream here somewhere! |
 |
| Digging it out |
 |
| If there was water in it, it would be flowing nicely |
PATH AT THE BOTTOM OF EAVES WOOD
Water and mulch gets washed down the track to a dip creating a very muddy section (not helped by someone having attempted to drive a vehicle through it!)
 |
| Scraping and shovelling to reveal the old surface |
 |
| A relatively mulch-free way through |
We did this same job a couple of years ago, so it needs to become a regular.
