A short footpath cuts the corner of the track through Callis Wood. The path is on a slope, which was manageable until its use in a wet January (on the Montane Spine Race trashed it into a muddy slide.
The task for Ian S, Steve, Jan and Rich was to put in two flights of steps in order to prevent further erosion. This work was funded by a partnership between Calderdale Council Highways and Natural England (not the race organisers).
The few remaining steps at the top of the slope were repaired and a new set of 'edged' were installed to cope with the incline. A new drain was also added to reduce further water erosion.

Meanwhile, further down the path a short steep slope was dealt with.
Many thanks to the landowner for providing access to the path.
