Paths and Top Lake

The Wildlife Trust have done a great job with the path construction, part of which is in the picture left, they have a still got a bit more to go but it looks good.


The friends Group are having two days out around the lake building some solid access in the wet and damp areas that cause problems in the winter and after any rain.


The group will be guided by leaders from the Wildlife Trust as none of our group have any experience in making paths .










The Princes Trust have spent sometime in the Dell woods constructing part of the pathway and steps as part of their training. The group where supervised by a couple of training supervisors from the Wildlife Trust and together they all did a magnificent job, they well deserved their barbecue at the end of the project

The Middlesbrough Council Engineers have been working on the top lake with their contractors and have constructed a "Coffer" dam that they believe will stop the water leaking out of the lake and through the ground. It looks like a success as the water has started to flow over the "trickle down" which it hasn't done for quite a while now.

They brought some very large machinery down to do the work and took great care not to damage anything .
