I installed a 4” compacted layer of DG ten years ago. At this point it looks shabby due to years of dust and dirt sifting through. Lots of weed growth. Too much cost and work to remove and start all over. My instinct is to scrape off one our two inches and top off with new material. Does it make sense to use stabilized DG?
After walking the Camino Francis last year, I am hooked on an annual walk. Plan to walk the Cumbria in early October. The official website recommends carrying a compass and maps..I realize the Camino and Cumbria are two different experiences, but I’d like to believe that it will be a rare occurrence to require a compass. I will follow the advice and bring one anyway. My question is how likely is the need for a compass?
