It's not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it's coming back on the side.

Edit 1: Update, how it was going...

Edit 2: How it's going now... They blocked the previous path and guess what? There is now another desire path, under the tree.

Update 2025-05-29: They are installing a wired fence. Going lengths to make people's life more difficult!

Someone knocked off the pole that was on this section, the one in the photo is a replacement. Someone also bent the same section of the fence.

Best desire path I've seen here! Keep up the updates! :)

It's been a silent but relentless battle! The following picture was the new state until a few weeks ago.

A 3rd desire path opened by the tree, in the photo you can almost see someone pushing a bike across.

This has however changed, I'll post an update.
