I'd like to prove that if $p : Y \to X$ is a covering projection, then $Y$ is locally path-connected if $ X$ is.

I've tried a load of different things, but can't get it to work. Any hints / references to proofs online (I haven't been able to find any) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hint: you want to prove something about small neighborhoods in Y and you're given information about some neighborhoods in X. Being a covering projection says something about small enough neighborhoods in Y actually being homeomorphic to neighborhoods in X; just figure out how the quantifiers go and you're done.2011-11-02
