There were five of us out today so we split into two teams. Jerry and Angus tackled two jobs on Clough House Lane and Graham, Andy and Jak went to Butterworth Lane.

Jerry and Angus replaced a rotten fingerpost directing walkers to the east of Clough House Lane and also one leading from Clough House Lane south up the footpath that we recently reopened. The path goes up from the lane to meet a bridleway and neatly cuts off the road corner.

The second job for Jerry and Angus was to waymark up the hill towards last week's new steps.

Meanwhile, over on Butterworth Lane, Graham, Andy and Jak were finishing off the stone steps which lead into the field to a footpath joining Butterworth Lane and Bowood Lane.

After this, we joined forces and put in two waymark posts on a footpath going east from Stoney Lane which meets the Calderdale Way. Both existing waymark posts had rotted.

It was satisfying to clear up several smaller jobs. This work was funded by donations to CROWS, for which we are very grateful.
