LIFE will be made easier for horse riders, cyclists and ramblers on a stretch of the Nidderdale Way from today.

Nidderdale Countryside Volunteers will be repairing the surface of the bridleway near to Brimham Rocks. They will also be adding latches to the gates enabling riders to open and close them without having to dismount.

The work is part of an ongoing programme by the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to improve access and encourage enjoyment of the countryside.

To help the volunteers call (01423) 712950.
