September Footpath Survey
As luck would have it our latest footpath survey took place on one of the warmest days in September. We traversed the paths in the lower part of the parish of Caton, covering about 6 miles in the process.
It was heartening to see that most of the problems reported a while ago had been addressed by Lancashire County Council. New kissing gates had replaced broken stiles in some places, whilst others had been repaired. Signposts were visible at the ends of the Rights of Way, where previously these had been obscured, damaged or removed.
There were a few places where this season’s growth had extended across a path or stile, this we trimmed back to allow easier access. Altogether we had a very pleasant and satisfying day, with few problems to report to the County Council.
