Putting the track back in Trackside

Posted by Niall Grimes on 23/11/2011

A short movie, a talkie actually, looking at recent ground improvements around the Trackside Boulder at Curbar.

Niall Grimes talks to Adam Long, chief spademan of the project, and Kim Strawbridge from the Easten Moors Partnership, about the thinking behind it.
