Not a problem for me, but my ma in law, who is still a very keen walker, has real problems with NT standard step over stiles as her hips (one titanium) won't let her swing her leg that high. Whilst I wouldn't suggest gates everywhere, where fences cross main paths, they should consider gating.
This work is long overdue as most of the big bare peat areas look like the Atacama, but I hope they will do a proper restoration of the blanket bog and not just convert it to heather moor.
