Want to give back to the lanes???

Taken from the Treadlightly page on Faceache:



Treadlightly Volunteers needed for a working party near Sheffield on Friday 16th August. The work will be taking place on Houndkirk Road, a route running from Fox Houses near Hathersage to Ringinglow, near Sheffield.

The work will be filling in puddles, digging ditches and moving some boulders that were put in to stop vehicles going into a stream, but which can now be removed.

It's organised with Sheffield Council who have always been very fair minded towards our hobby (see their comments on the original Chapel Gate eTRO) so I hope we can get a good turnout to show we're willing to 'do our bit' despite problems with the Peak District National Park Authority.

If you'd like to attend, please could you email Clare on [email protected] so she can get a feel for numbers. At the moment She has only three volunteers (due to holidays and the Roych decision) so she is quite desperate!

We have to bring our own equipment: stout boots, waterproofs and work gloves but also hand tools - spades, rakes etc, as Sheffield don't have spare tools for volunteers.

Also, if you have a vehicle with a winch and would like to get it dirty moving the boulders, that would be much appreciated! Any volunteers with a Wacker Plate (for flattening down bunds) would similarly be extremely welcome.

The plan is to meet at the Ringinglow (Sheffield) end of the route at 10am and work until about 4pm

Clare Griffin would be very grateful and somebody get photos!

yeah me to sorry :-(

I'll check my shifts.

Sorry, other stuff already planned or would have been there.

Ive seen this advertised on the glass fb site too, and as its just the other side of town and 10 mins from me i would have loved to have helped but have jury service!
always a next time, saying that the next lot of close lanes to me is the peaks, and we all know they wont be open to us for much longer at this rate!

Work Mondays-Fridays, but usually mornings only (another story) however, due to the need to cover for some other bugger's holidays (small company!) I'll be on full days on Thurs through to the Tues after Bank Holiday. Would have been good to go across the border and meet some of you.

If Treadlightly ever get involved with Lancs County then that'd be even better for me

Why have the need to post excuses ?? Beats me volunteers were asked for no one backed into a corner n need a reason not to attend !!

... that is actually a very good point one stop!

Don't know why we post - perhaps it's "expected" to have to post something to show that we've read the initial post...?

Cause it keeps bumping the thread for one thing.

And I am working too, not that I would be any use at all if I did go.

Or I could make cake
