Cleared byway from Greenodd to A590 underbridge

This short but useful path (actually a byway – BOAT 522017) goes from the southern end of Greenodd main street to the river Crake, where you can turn right to get under the A590 and so get to the footbridge over the river Leven to the Holker side. Our council contacts had asked us to do some clearing after someone reported it as needing attention.

So volunteers MS, CH, SH and PQ went and used hedge trimmers to cut back the vegetation that was starting to encroach the most.

Stiles fixed: Smithy Green, Greenodd

Two stiles needed fixing on the short path from Smithy Green Farm to the lane above Penny Bridge Church. PathFix volunteers TL & GC rebuilt both steps on one and repaired the step on another.

Stile 1 BEFORE:
The rails and uprights were secure on this stile, but both steps were rotted and at least one step support post was in danger of collapsing.

Stile 1 AFTER:
It is now secure and fully usable, after PathFix volunteers TL & GC replaced both steps and all their support posts.

Stile 2 BEFORE:
The old steps were rotting on the stile at the other end of that path, where it leaves the wood onto the lane above Penny Bridge Church.

Stile 2 AFTER:
So they replaced both steps on that stile.
