THE FIRST phase of an ambitious project to repair and upgrade the lower half of the Ben Nevis mountain path has been completed.
Managed by Nevis Landscape Partnership, the whole project aims to upgrade the path from Achintee to John’s Wall and this year will focus on a difficult middle section in need of attention before the busy summer season. The last few years have seen the whole path fall into a severe state of disrepair. Without intervention, this would worsen over time and cause serious problems for people as well as being detrimental to sensitive habitats.
