I've not been up there for about a year on a bike. Did it on Thursday. What a bloody mess they've made of it?
The Coniston side from the top down to the begining of the level section where Goats Water Beck crosses is just a grade 1 cock up. If anything it is far more dangerous than it was before they intervened with large sections of exposed muddy slope replacing a defined rocky track.

Anyone know the official explanation?

Ran out of funds to tarmac it apparently.

More here too. I spoke to the council about it when they were half way through it. TBH it was more like a runway when I was up there in the summer. From what you've said it now sounds like it's washing away.... just give it time and will be as rough as it ever was 😉 .

Talking of ruining trails... who the **** has put f-in sand all over the f-in Three Shires Trail in Macclesfield. You could here it being sucked up into my bearings. Motorbikers I think trying to smooth out the transition from natural rock to natural rock 👿 !
