RYBURN - Arkin Royd

A day of changeable weather. A team comprising Rich, Andy and Jak worked on a set of steps at Arkin Royd. The steps are next to where the water chooses to run off the hill and consequently suffer from being wet a lot of the time. There was no exception as we worked . . .  it ended up being a head-to-foot mud day.

We will be returning to Arkin Royd to do further work. This section will be a lot less slippery for walkers as it settles.

Many thanks to Calderdale Ramblers who have funded this work.
