Sheep Wool Path Repairs
Outdoors Magic is reporting on an "innovative" path repair technique where sheep wool is used to form a raft over the mud that the path is laid on top of. Apparently it is rather pricey too for this particular path in the Lake District.
This was being done almost 20 years ago here in Scotland and guess what? It sucked. The repair lasted for a short period of a year or so then the whole lot disintegrated.
Good solid stone - that's what you need to repair a path.
