Delph Hill Lane, near Oates Royd Mill
On a superb sunny day, Steve, Andy, Andrew and Paul were cutting back brambles, branches and ivy on Delph Hill Lane a fine cobbled bridleway that leads up from Oats Royd Mill to Pin Hill Lane. In addition, encroaching tree branches and hedging were cut back on a narrow, walled footpath that arced around adjacent fields to reappear lower down on Pin Hill Lane.
