 
ACWA Working Party
On 17-Nov-2010 a Working Party replaced one stile with
a wooden k/g and a second stile with a metal p/g on ACW at the
end of Windmill Lane, Corley Moor.
The
wooden k/g : 17-Nov-2010
November Achievements
The wooden k/g replaced a stile which only came into use a few
years ago when a remote control field gate was installed across the
road to the farm, which then became normally locked. The
"stile" was initially just the fence, but we made it a stile simply
by adding a step from an old stile we had replaced.
The
metal p/g : 17-Nov-2010
The metal p/g replaced another stile which also only
came into regular use a few years ago when the field gate beside it
became usually closed.
Please also note that the farmer has built up a stone
and rubble causeway which should solve the difficulty of the
flooded/muddy section of path along the southern edge of Birchley
Hayes Wood. These three improvements will now be formalised by
WCC raising a diversion order to make the route we have used since
ACW was created the Definitive Path.
A day with miserable cold rain. Despite the
'orrible weather we had 9 people turn out plus John with his "NAAFI
Wagon" for which I am sure we were all most grateful for a nice warm
cuppa. All was completed by 13:30 - in spite of the
weather, another satisfying mornings work, followed by a visit to
The Bull and Butcher for lunch.
