Where do you stand, Guy over OS maps giving greater prominence to accurate mapping than recording public rights of way that bear no reality to what you find on the ground? And, showing accurate crossings of walls, etc in open access land, instead of relying on DMs?
I would like our top priority, to encourage walking, is to have welcoming signs and gates/stiles where rights of way meet roads. Then, easy to follow paths that encourage more to return without having to use maps. Gates, rather than stiles and excellent waymarking.
Right to roam is lessening on public rights of way as footbridges never get maintained. When dangerous to use they are closed & rarely get replaced, esp the longer ones over major rivers because they come under Countryside Services that are starved of funds (instead of Highways)
Right to roam is diminishing on even public rights of way as footbridges never get maintained. When too dangerous to use they are closed and rarely get replaced, especially the longer ones over major rivers because they come under Countryside Services (instead of Highways) that are always starved of funds.
