As a local to Cut Gate and a regular summer user my personal opinion is that it would take More than just slabs to cure the swamp problems up there. The slabs would just end up sinking over a period of time thus being a waste of time and money. As for a solution to the problem the only way I can see would be to move the path to the higher ground on the right, but then you would be back to square one again in a few years time when the new path turns to a bog. I would love to see a solution to the problem as it’s one of my favourite summer evening rides.
