Old Town
Kris and Paul were out today working on two sites in the Old Town area. The first job involved some key waymarking on the path from Cow Lane downhill to Fearney Fields while the second job was cutting back to clear paths behind Wadsworth Community Centre leading to Westfield. A weather forecast of drizzle and cloudy skies never materialised and we were treated to some June sunshine much to our relief. Late morning Ginny joined us in place of Kris to help finish cutting back some serious overgrown paths.
The work was funded by Wadsworth Parish Council. Thank you!

| Job 1 - Waymarking |
The landowner had installed a stock fence on this stretch of footpath leaving plenty of margin to walk safely. Our job today entailed putting in some strategically placed waymarkers to clearly signpost the ROW.

Job 2
 |
| Paths to clear behind the Community Centre |
After we finished the waymarking we moved on to job 2. We visit this patch annually to cut back the triangle of footpaths that merge from paths coming from Westfields.

| Very overgrown! |
Paul and Kris teamed up to tackle the overgrown paths on the triangle of land and to cut back the path leading down from the rear of the Community Centre and a second path running alongside the back of the community allotment.

The triangle of land was transformed to its usual shape following some deep trimming from the battery operated strimmer:

Meanwhile Ginny replaced Kris and got down to business!

At the end of the session the pathways looked so much better and easier to use for local people.

| Tidy! |
Much Improvement all round:
