Options: Alternative Surface for Steep Gradient Option: We recognise that there is a possibility that on gradients exceeding 5%, the specified path surface may not be resilient against erosion. There are three sections within the specified route where the gradient exceed 5%. We would welcome any ideas/solutions that bidders would contribute. Any proposed solution(s) could feature permeable, porous semi-bound or bound surfaces, and ideally incorporate natural or recycled materials to harmonise with the woodland's natural rural landscape.
