Good to meet up with David Hardwick in the mud at Moor House Farm, Twitchen today.
Our task was simple - remove the old and rotted steps and replace with new - something Mike and I hadn't done before - and then to replace the stile at the top of the steps.
It seemed quite straightforward to begin with, but as we worked our way up the slope, the slipperiness of the mud bank made things somewhat tricky. Near to the top of the slope we came across two very large rocks which just HAD to be in the very place we wanted to drive in a support post for the steps.
Still, after a bit of digging we managed to finish the steps and then set about the stile. We must be getting better as it went in quite quickly, our only problem being a tree root - in the meantime David set about putting in a new hand rail.
