Looking across from the bottom of Lord's Rake you can see the new path zig zagging up towards Ligmel Col.  The digger can just be seen as a small orange spec at the head of the zig zag

The philosophy is to keep the path higher than the surrounding ground to encourage run off .

The national trust are carrying out erosion control and path repairs due to the incredible erosion /wear and tear from the thousands of three peakers.  The digger was helicoptered up in three lifts and then re-assembled.  How do you fancy the job of walking the 60 minute climb each day to start your shift?
