Sunday 15 July 2012: Path improvements from the Buck Stones

The path to the Buck Stone

Steve Joul and fourteen Friends put in two hours of hard labour to improve the paths leading from the Buck Stones into Adel Woods.

The same view on 4 May 2012

The first was the entrance from Buck Stone Avenue leading down to the Buck Stone.  A local resident had asked if the Parish Council could improve this path which was getting very muddy, and the upshot was that FOAW agreed to do it, Leeds CC providing us with crushed limestone.

The next path was the one lower down Buck Stone Avenue.

Finally, we cleared the path from Buck Stone Road leading towards the Slabbering Baby.

Before…

This has slowly been getting narrower over the last couple of years – two years ago, it was easy to drive a vehicle down the path, but now  the path had become so overgrown

…and after – the same view!

that it was only wide enough for pedestrians walking single file!

Two hours of intense activity and the results were astonishing!

At the end we all had a great sense of achievement – and were exhausted!

Friends relaxing after a job well done!
