Calderdale Way: Shawcroft Hill to Slackhouse Lane.
Kris, Nick and Paul were out on a much cooler day cutting back an overgrown path on a section of the Calderdale Way (Wadsworth 053 path).
Cutting back shrubbery and grasses on this stretch of path has become an annual event particularly at the bottom and top ends where foliage encroaches to such a degree that the pathway is difficult to negotiate.

| No way through! |
We started at the top end and soon made headway with hedge trimmers and strimmer:
 |
 |
| A way through! |
Following this we started at the bottom end by Shawcroft Cottages which was a tad overgrown!:
 |
| Lots of summer growth! |
We cleared the pathway, and turn byes:
 |
| That's better! |
Turn byes that run into the drainage channel on the wall side of the path were cleared out:

And steps cleared further up the path:

Overall a satisfying day's work making this section of the Calderdale Way easierr for walkers to use.
