The OS map, though is quite innacurate in this area, showing field boundaries which aren't there and ponds etc which have been landscaped out of existence.<br />Good luck following the path! (It's not where the map says it is!)<br />I'll report this to DCC as soon as their website allows access to the definitive map, which it doesn't at the moment - seems to be off-line or something.Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-10988430171972074112013-11-17T11:26:57.014+00:002013-11-17T11:26:57.014+00:00Mike, any map showing the unwelcome bit?

When I stayed in the middle of the countryside in Cornwall I used the best survey maps I could get. I would use the public footpaths to get about from one village to the next across fields and so on. I was disgruntled & unchuffered to discover that some of the property owners had smashed the stiles and removed the signs (the posts were still present) or even put lengths of chains through the gates that had been used for generations. I used to race my friend with his car to get to his house first from mine; him using the zig-zagging roads of course, and me the straight line of the fields; climbing over locked gates and barbed wire, braving the vicious attack dogs, pit-traps and sniper fire (OK, the bits after the wire didn't really happen...that much.)Reifynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346573496969586088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-59848218443066987152013-11-16T22:08:31.764+00:002013-11-16T22:08:31.764+00:00The correct term is 'chuftyerer'.
