In conjunction with Doncaster City Council, Doncaster Ramblers volunteers survey the 600-plus footpaths in our region annually.

Then where necessary paths are tidied, stiles repaired. and signposts replaced.

This month Doncaster Ramblers completed another session on footpath maintenance. Seven members attended and work was carried out at three footpath locations, see below.

A Ramblers spokesman said: "During the fitting of the Rossington 8 stile many passing residents looked amused and pleased that it had been fitted.

"But the best was when two horse riders came down the path and used it for the first time. The downside was when two lady dog walkers said it was wrong to allow horses down the path.

"However the council representative supervising the works soon made them see a different view. It appears you can’t please everyone!"

He added: " A total of 14 work hours was provided by our volunteers to complete the work."
