Corrie Domhain, Cairngorm.
This path runs from the top of Goat track gully, Stob Coire an t-Sneachda, all the way to Ben Macdui. Due to its popularity as the second highest Munro it is heavily used and has become badly damaged and braided. In some areas, mainly after heavy snow melt, the surface water has caused deep ruts to form and the surface aggregate to be washed away.
We were given the contract to repair two of the worst areas near to the the Northern Corries Rim path
The task therefore was to prevent any further damage, create a new path that can hold up to any future bad weather events.
It was decided to use the deep gullies as a side drain, build cross-drains to disperse the water, and to create a wide high and dry path below the side drain with stone features to protect the surfacing and to encourage people to stay on the path.
