Well Fancy That!

KCA have added a nice new gravel ramp leading up to the bottom step at St. Brigid's Well which will help us older or short-legged folk negotiate the incline. The riser of the step was always quite tall. The others are a bit tall too. The gravel ramp should be safer than the existing stone one which is probably risky in the winter because of ice and algae. The steps are somewhat slippy, possibly because the hard rock has become worn and polished from traffic. In winter the situation is worse because of algae, but KCA (I presume) have regularly sanded the steps which helped and made them safe
