Returning to 'my own' side of the hill for today's walk, I decided to tackle one of the steeper gradients.
Unfortunately, the pictures don't quite demonstrate just how steep it is and there are sections which are even more hazardous than those I've photographed.
The reason I'm drawing attention to it is that there was evidence that some idiot had tried to ride a horse UP the path - clearly designated as a footpath and NOT a bridle path, by the way. Had I been there when it took place, I would have made it quite clear what I thought and taken a photo which I would give to whatever authority is responsible for 'policing' what, in my opinion, is a clear case of animal cruelty.
