On a fine day with hints of Spring, Jerry and Jak started to tackle an unstable, tumbled down set of steps on a footpath going from Butterworth Lane up to Bowood Lane. The steps are in a pretty little wooded section leading onto a field and were in a state of disrepair and only really accessible with great caution.

First we cleared the short section from the road to the site to improve access.

Then we set to on the 3D jigsaw puzzle of putting the wall and steps back together. This takes some time as each stone has to be carefully considered and they are by and large very heavy! We used levers to manipulate the largest of the stones.

At end of play on the day the steps are walkable, with care. However we will return to finish these off.

This work was made possible by donations to CROWS. Many thanks for these.
