Imagine you are having to walk up the hill, you have to pick a route that is not too steep. You can see some of it in the first picture at https://cabin-layout.mixmox.com/2016/01/Distancesignals.html (click on the small image to get a bigger view) The path itself is usually bare.

This is the result with uncovered foam. I keep forgetting to allow myself to fail, but I didn't fail.. This is the Chapel I'm using: 130243
