Kasher and RJ had two major tasks today:
a) surveying the stream crossing below Greenhurst Hey where we hope to sort out the steps on both sides of the clough and to create a new stream crossing. (The previous stream crossing was washed away in the floods a number of years ago!)
and
b) cutting back along Back Lane. This popular path gets cut-back a couple of times each year. Today's 'haircut' should keep the path open for the next few months but brambles, nettles and, in some places, raspberries may take over later in the Summer.
Today's work has been funded by Todmorden Harriers. Many thanks for your continuing financial support. Thanks too to the landowners on both banks of Greenhurst Hey Clough for agreeing that we can work to improve the footpath in this area.
