Repairing paths in The Copse

The paths though The Copse are busy, my boys used to walk through there to and from school every day, and they stay muddier longer than some others due to the lack of sunlight and wind both of which are interrupted by the trees.

The reasonable solution adopted was to put down tree bark.

The bark looked good on a sunny day in Winter when the trees were devoid of leaves but it will be more useful on a wet Spring day.
