Marsh Burn, Ben Macdui. CNP
As the 2014 upland path building season moved into late summer C.O.A.T tasked us with repairing a section of path on the way to the UK's 2nd highest mountain Ben Macdui (1309m).
As this is a very popular path, preemptive repairs were needed on a small section of path where previous work had taken place but where the drainage solutions had not worked as well as would of been liked.
CWC improved some of the water-bars and extend the drains to shed the water even further away from the path. In addition we widened the path, straightened it out and replaced the lost aggregate surfacing to try to encourage users to keep to the path more.
