There were three teams out from Todmorden today.
Team 1: Ian V and Gareth: replacing a fingerpost and then replacing steps on Rise Lane (Tod 107) off Dog House Lane. Please see separate Blog.
Team 2: David and Neil Mc: cutting back on Trimmer Lane (Blackshaw BW 012).
Team 3: Catherine, Dunstan and Kasher: a small amount of balsam bashing down Bluebell Lane; sorting out a gate and cutting back on Tod 060; cutting back on Tod BW 059 below the dinosaur and below Kitson Royd Farm, off Pudding Lane. We will need to return to cut back the next section of the path down towards Pitts.
Today's work has been funded by Todmorden Harriers (Team 2's work) and by Calderdale Council Highways (Team 3's work).

The path is now easy to use but do take care as the wet causey
stones are very slippery. |
