Paul and Rich went up to the Pennine Way at Gorple to clear a blockage (in a drain) that was diverting water to flow down the track! We also continued the task of uncovering Causey Stones to create a wider path.
This work was funded by a partnership between Calderdale Highways and Natural England.
 |
| After checking the forecast, we decided to have an early start! |
The side-drain on the track over to Blackshaw was clogged with sedge in a few places and some of the banking had disintegrated. We tackled the obvious places where water was escaping but it really needs a digger!
 |
| Water will now keep off the track. |
Then it was back over to Graining Water for another session uncovering Causey Stones. This makes the path much wider . . . and we just love uncovering the area's heritage.
 |
| No more wet legs after rain! |
A good session and, fortunately, we dodged most of the rain.
