Path SpecificationsThe design of the new path
incorporates natural, local materials. A running surface of crushed and
compacted stone will reduce visual impact. All retained in treated timber kerbs
from the Forestry Division, with safety handrails from the same source. The importance of drainage
has not been overlooked. The path surface will have a gentle cross slope to
divert surface water to the lower side where gaps in the timber kerb will allow
it to escape. Water draining from the upper slopes of the glen will be caught in
a gutter on the top side of the path, passing through culverts to the lower
side. |
