Scottish Highlands campaign has raised two-thirds of £300,000 target for footpaths on An Teallach. But more is needed to protect people and environment

Still a big walk! But fantastic to see our right to roam laws being literally reinforced here. Anyone up the hills this weekend?

    IME “path repairs” too often means making steps which are more difficult to descend than the path that was there before unless you have exactly the same agility as the (generally young and fit) path builders.

    Depressing how often this happens. The path down off Cairngorm towards the cafe is a prime example.

      Having seen a munro without a path, path repairs are very necessary I’d argue. To see a whole mountain being scarred by walkers doesn’t sit well with the outdoor access code with me

        The steps are much better for the prevention of corrosion. Maybe the stairs don’t look natural but the scarring from paths slipping down the side of the mountain looks much worse imho.
