A step in the right direction

Actually quite a lot of steps.  We've repaired four of the lower steps just up from the footbridge near post 5 and added two more at the top leading to post 6.

 

 

Previous improvements to the path have led to increased use and this year things seem to be muddier than ever.  We have  had to use a lot more woodchip to raise the level of the steps.    Although this results in a sort of porridge when combined with the mud, it will hopefully all bed down in the summer and will be strengthened by the roots of colonising grasses and other plants.
