Help required on the White Peak Loop

For some time, the charity Peak Cycle Links has had planning permission to build a path near Ladmanlow, Buxton. This will eventually become a vital link in the White Peak Loop, as it will form a small but important part of the route from Buxton to the High Peak Trail at Hurdlow. The actual path in question was once a tramway running parallel to Grin Low Road, on its northern side, from the entrance to the Grin Low Country Park car park and caravan site, and the junction of Grin Low Rd with Leek Rd (opposite the path leading to the Health and Safety labs). The planning permission is due to expire on 14 February 2014, unless work commences on or before that date. The work required at this location consists of taking down a 4-metre section of dry stone wall and cutting down a number of trees and saplings. The County Ranger Service will undertake the tree work and will supervise all demolition but are looking for volunteers to assist with taking down the wall.  It is proposed that this be undertaken on Wednesday 12 February, starting at 10:00. Please spread the word and turn out if you can, even if only for a few hours. Thank you.
