In reply to The Watch of Barrisdale:
It's happening everywhere now. Every time I go walking, there seem to be new tracks bulldozed up to sometimes quite high altitudes. Another unsightly one I saw today on the West flank of Rois Bheinn in Moidart. Went for a walk a couple of days ago just past Glenfinnan and saw another being made. It would be interesting to see an updated Google Earth view of the Highlands - you would be able to see just how many tracks there are now.
Can landowners in the Lake District and Snowdonia do the same thing?
