In the winter this footpath is dangerous as really muddy. A few years back the landowner cleared part of the wood. Then the footpath was confined to a smaller track. Therefore muddier than before. A popular walk. Lots of people have slipped over through the wood. People then put branches across two particular areas to get across. This in some ways makes it worse. It needs a more solid way through. Maybe a raised wooden path so mud and water underneath. with

Before someone has a bad accident. A few years back a man slipped and broke his leg. I’m not sure on which part but needs to be avoided for the future. At present In summer it would be a good time to do this job while dry and easier to get equipment there
