Stone-pitching on Washgate Lane

September 29, 2013 by Julian

We spent last weekend on a residential in the Peak District, where for two days we worked with the Peak Park Conservation Volunteers carrying out some stone-pitching.  We were helping with an ongoing project to restore the damaged surface of Washgate Lane, an old packhorse route near Hollingsclough which has been in use for centuries.  The weather was terrific – particularly on the Sunday – and it was great to be part of the important work to maintain this historic path!
