Three teams from Todmorden set out on a glorious morning to work in the sunshine on the hillsides near the Bride Stones.
Kasher, Dunstan & Frank H rebuilt a stile into the access land at Golden Stones just below the Bride Stones themselves. (See the separate blog post on this job). Neil Mc & David went to Windy Harbour, not far from the Wizard of Whirlaw, to complete work on the new steps and stile into a field.
Meanwhile, Catherine, Gareth & Ian V rebuilt a stile above Springs on the footpath (Todmorden 045) that heads past Golden Stones up to Bridestones Farm, and installed a new waymark post at a path junction near the farm.
The first walker (and dog) arrived to use the second stile at the very moment that the last nail was being banged in! We nearly missed a photo opportunity!
Thanks to the lovely people at Bridestones Farm for allowing us to park in their grounds and shorten our carrying distance. Thanks also to Todmorden Wind Farm which funded today’s work via CFFC (Community Foundation for Calderdale).
