PENNINE WAY AT WINTERS

 Team of four - Stella, Jan, Jerry and Rich to do four main jobs with showers and sun all day.

  • Repair some rotted off steps
  • Clear the stone steps
  • Cut back encroaching vegetation along the whole stretch
  • Re-seat a rotted off finger post 

This work was funded by a partnership of Calderdale Highways and Natural England.

Overgrown with lots of mulch on the steps 


Cut back encroaching vegetation along the whole stretch

A vast improvement (it is the same path)

Re-seat a rotted off finger post  

The day was going well with just the finger post to do. First job was to remove the old stump. Took about 45 minutes to get out!

...and it rained
