Spoke to the fellas building the path today. Apparently, they’ve been getting a lot of abuse from trail users, which really isn’t on. They are “only” building a path from the fence up to the summit and there are no plans to build any other paths. As a result, the descent that most people use (from the top down to the path splits and then down the Yellow Craig) will only be affected at the top part. Having ridden this area for 20 years, there aren’t many folk I see riding this as a descent all the way down. Also, for the top section, there are a whole bundle of lines down and I really can’t see them filling all these in. If this provides a more sustainable route to the top of Dumyat, well, that might be a good thing. The trail erosion since the above mentioned Peaty/Macaskill/Guy Martin video has been nothing short of horrendous. Give the guys building the path a break … They are just doing their job. Equally, some path improvement over “the bog” is definitely welcome. However, I can’t see a couple of winters bedding this path in. From what I learned today, it will be of a very similar construction to the path down to the Main Whitehills car park and yhat hasn’t weathered in at all.
