BOLTON FOOTPATH 338
Bolton Ramblers became concerned over the eroded state of this path in Chew Moor. We approached both Manchester Area Ramblers and the Peak & Northern Footpath Society (P&NFPS) for funding to make safe the path as it would, in parts, collapse into the adjacent stream.
Bolton Council agreed to undertake this work through contractors at a cost of around £10,000 with the funding coming jointly from Manchester Area Ramblers and P&NFPS. As can be seen, the work has been completed and the footpath is now, again, walkable. Our thanks go to the two organisations, who have previously funded two projects to restore Bolton footpaths. If you are aware of any paths that are in disrepair, please contact us at boltonramblers@hotmail.co.uk
GM RINGWAY VOLUNTEERS
The GM Ringway needs volunteers to help look after the route. They are looking for 20 Stage Guardians. They already have people to cover 12 out of the 20 stages but still need people to cover the others. There can be one or two for each stage. I attach the role description here.
