WIDDOP GATE new steps part 2

A couple of weeks ago we cleared the steps at the end of the Crags 'Railway Walk'. We replaced nine risers, but realised that the rest wouldn't last very long, so today's task for Andy, Kris, Andrew, Jan and Rich was to replace the rest - all sixteen steps. 

This work was funded by friends and family of Robert Heaton.This area was a special place for him.  


 THE STEPS

Old ones removed, new ones installed with aggregate infill. 

Work in progress

 


 

CLEARING THE REST OF THE PATH

Sections of the path were widened, encroaching trees and vegetation cut back and the steps up to the road were cleared.
