what the hell is happening to the coppice... it was once one of the few places people could walk locally with dogs that seemed relatively untouched.. now there are so called improvements taking place which seem to involve making tame paths which were uncalled for and making a general muddy bog out of it all.. don't tell me it offers access .. I cant climb trees but no one has offered me a gibbon

I think the paths they have put on the Coppice are really good. If you want to walk off track there you still can do.

Why would anyone think improving the paths and access is a bad thing?
Do you have some other agenda that your post is leading up to?

Everyone involved is doing a great job and finding funding for some of the work done isn't easy, well done to them I say.

Well maybe you can walk around unaided but a lot of folks would welcome a few paths. As for a bog, have you tried laying paving slabs etc? As the saying goes you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs - it will be fine once the dust has settled, to use another cliche.

The whole purpose of paths is to prevent erosion by people creating their own routes up and down the hillside.

There are lots of places where you can take your dogs for a walk, the area is full of woods, rivers and public footpaths.

You need to open your eyes a little and look where we live, there are miles and miles of public footpaths that are muddy and horrible at this time of year if that is your preference
 
I haven`t been up the coppice for a few weeks so haven`t seen what they have done but if it`s to improve accessibility for those who struggle to get up there then what`s the problem.
 
great moving staircases up great gable perhaps while were at it lets get rid of all those tricky places were people find if difficult to get to.. lets make it civilised and easy and doff our caps and tug our forelocks to the funding that has made it possible.. pah I have no need to sulk old timer,, simply because I don't really care what the opinion is

Why are people walking dogs more important than the majority of us? Most of the people who go up there probably just want a pleasant walk.

don't tell me it offers access ..Why not? It does.

I cant climb trees but no one has offered me a gibbon

No need.You seem quite capable of gibbering yourself.

Excuse me? Would you like a Gibbon? It is house trained, has very good manners and likes both human and canine company.

You could perhaps learn a great deal from it about interacting with others?

I take it then that you re-read your starting post and realised the sort of response it deserved?

For someone that doesn't need to sulk you seem to give a good impression of doing just that!

If you don't care about other peoples opinions why post at all?
Nobody here would miss your input, it makes very little sense and isn't even close to being humorous.

Great Gable is in an area where folks go to enjoy unspoilt terrain, the Coppice is on the edge of an urban area where most people do not go with specialist clothing and equipment but just might benefit from a little help to get them out and about and keep themselves fit where otherwise they might not have bothered. You yourself might be glad of those paths in years to come. Several of us "old timers" on here can remember when there were no trees on the Coppice but we have learnt to live with them. So things move on as they always have.
