PENNINE WAY at Colden

Today was a second visit to Edge Lane for Andy and Rich to re-erect a finger post, clear steps, fix a fence and fettle a gate. This work was funded by a partnership of 'Calderdale Highways' and 'Natural England'. 

The post: - out of the ground and looking sad. It will need replacing at some stage, but is OK for now. 

 

The top of the path was quite narrow with bushes encroaching. These were cut back and the path widened. We are hoping a contractor will be fixing the drainage problem lower down. 

Then it was over to Edge Lane to clear three flights of stone steps. 

The final two jobs were to sort a barbed wire fence that was leaning across the path and to repair a catch on a gate at the edge of the moor.
