A beautiful if cold morning. Despite the nippy start, a good turnout of fifteen Friends, all in good humour, met in the Stairfoot Lane carpark.
We had a group of litterpickers, a group of path clearers, and a chain gang adding five new steps to the top of the steps from the stream.
Your correspondent was embedded
with the chain gang, helping Ade to load wheelbarrows with the remains of our pile of crushed sandstone in the carpark and to take them down to the steps. Hence all of the photographs today are of this aspect of our work.
Five new steps were artistically sculpted into the hillside under the expert guidance of Steve Joul. Of course not everyone took it so seriously!
You couldn’t make it up!
“Aren’t they good!”
At about noon our intrepid team of path clearers arrived having cleared branches from paths as far afield as the Seven Arches and Adel Bog. They were desperate to try out the new steps.
We finished at about about 12.30pm, in good spirits.
Thank you to everyone who took part today. You have changed history!
Trying out the new steps! History is made.
