Passing a Building Site in Coup Green The footpath keeps to the right of the hedge, only to come to an abrupt halt as it crosses a small footbridge a few yards further on. The building company has sealed off access without prior warning.
Option one is to turn around and walk back to Hoghton.
Option two is to be creative and find a channel to wriggle around all obstacles to bypass the site.
Option three, recommended for athletes and Marines only, vault over the 8ft high barrier and walk through construction workings without breaking stride. — Passing a Building Site in Coup Green Credit: Chris Heaton
