On a typical April shower-type day (albeit in the middle of May!) Jan and Paul sought refuge by the stream in Willow Woods to avoid the hail and rain in order to work on a delightful path (Hebden Royd 056) from Booth House Road towards Wheatley Royd Farm.
There was waymarking, step repair, cutting back and path scraping to be done . . . in-between the rainstorms and the beautiful sunshine!
The original waymark post was rotten and broken and needed to be replaced.
The new post was professionally and accurately installed.
Spirit level expertly used...
Paul was clearly impressed with the end result!
The path was overgrown with Beech and Holly...
...but Paul made short work of it.
The steps up from the stream were cleared.
The path above the steps was also scraped and levelled to prevent puddling.
On closer inspection, several of the risers and stobs on the flight of steps need to be replaced and the revetment needs to be reinforced - this will mean a return visit.
