RJ, Duncan & Catherine set out to clear the path through Scaitcliffe Woods on the day before the 2026 UKA Fell & Hills Relays. With hundreds of runners from all over the country due to take part they needed to clear the leaves, acorns and beech nuts to make the path safe. CROWS previously worked on the path last year replacing rotten steps and installing many more so there was plenty of brushing required.
Today’s work was funded by Todmorden Town Council. Thank you.

| This step was wobbly so RJ & Duncan packed in stone to steady it. |
