Paper Four - Update Paper

This document contains an update on the Cairngorms Local Outdoor Access Forum's (LOAF) work, both completed and planned. The main focus is on core paths and outdoor access, including upgrades to the Speyside Way in Anagach Woods scheduled for October to December. There's also work on the Braemar to Keiloch Path, facing challenges due to steep slopes, and the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) and OATS are collaborating to address these. To raise awareness, the LOAF has new posters and signs, a social media campaign, ranger events on topics like responsible dog walking, and adverts in the "What's On" guide. Community path leaflets are being updated for various areas. Lastly, the CNPA is holding meetings to coordinate visitor management in key locations, dealing with ongoing issues like parking and campfires, and will share an end-of-season report with the LOAF.
