PENNINE WAY AT GORPLE
Ginny and Rich went to tackle five problems identified by the Pennine Way Survey last year (barbed wire, waymarking, drainage and a broken boardwalk). The work was funded by a partnership between Calderdale Highways and Natural England.

| Narrow and muddy |
 |
| Pulling off the grass edges |
 |
| Causey stones cleared making the path much wider. |
There is more uncovering and widening to do on this path - a later day.
We then went down to the bridge over Graining Water to clean the treads and sort a waymark.
Then up towards Blackshaw where we repaired a board walk, sorted some drainage and dug out a turnby (cross drain).
Shame the Packhorse pub wasn't open. So on to Hebden and Pecket Well.
HAWORTH OLD ROAD
The flags on two finger posts were reinstated and some waymarking completed. Many thanks for the donation from The Haworth Hobble event.
