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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ .

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 ๐Ÿ‘ฟ !
