Still a big walk! But fantastic to see our right to roam laws being literally reinforced here. Anyone up the hills this weekend?

Having seen a munro without a path, path repairs are very necessary I'd argue. To see a whole mountain being scarred by walkers doesn't sit well with the outdoor access code with me

The steps are much better for the prevention of corrosion. Maybe the stairs don't look natural but the scarring from paths slipping down the side of the mountain looks much worse imho.
