Path erosion at Middle Bank At this point a minor landslip has taken out the wall and part of the path above it. Over the last five years this has developed from a minor gap of no more than a couple of metres to one that is now nearer 15m in length. The farmer has plugged the gap with mesh fencing, whilst the walked path is gradually moving uphill. Just one of several path problems in and around Gunnerside Gill.
