The Footpath Hall of ShameFootpath conservation requires a high skill level and methodical planning. Without these factors a project can fail, as these examples show.
You don't have to be an expert to see that this is appalling.
There is a large mound on the right path edge and nothing on the left.
The path surface is so poor that it is basically unusable and most folk use the left edge!
The bottom stones are too high and poorly placed. This means that they will be undermined and collapse.
A classic mistake.
Once again a huge mound on the right side, and they haven't even bothered to lay the grass turf properly!
The path surface is rather poor, so walkers are using the left edge.
The obvious trail on the left will widen and deepen quickly.
Possibly the worst path of 1998.
This is only a small section, but the path contains almost every mistake it is possible to make.
The major flaws are; the surface is too high, it is not stable, the drainage is ineffective and it will need substantial reworking in the near future.
The construction method was rather unusual. The turf was scraped off, a rock put in the ground and hit with a large rubber mallet!
