A big gang of Kris, Ginny, Andy, Richard, Rich, Jerry worked on two sites - a Bridleway off Kennel Lane and Bird Lane between Rochdale Road and Ripponden Old Lane. Today's work was funded by Calderdale Highways.
KENNEL LANE
A lovely old bridleway which had become overgrown with the usual suspects! Additionalloy overhead growth make it difficult for horse riders.

BIRD LANE
Strangely designated as a footpath, but with all the same issues as the previous job (no before photo, but it was bad!)

| Amazing what you find under the foliage, including a broken stile |

| Now it looks like a path |
It is now easily walkable but we will need to return to fix two stiles, install a waymark post and do more uncovering of a drain.
