Two Pencoed Trailblazers cleared 70 metres on Pencoed Footpath 32 this week and even rediscovered Pencoed Spring by stepping straight into it. Another 30 metres to go, but the route is already taking shape. Community action making a real difference.

Got caught in the rain while scouting a walk on Pencoed footpath 41 near the underground reservoir on Cefn Hirgoed/Coity Wallia common land.

overheard whilst paddling in a river that has signs up saying that the river is private except for a small section, which happens to be a public bridleway: "How can a river be private?"
Unlike me, they hadn't grown up in a rural area with lots of fences preventing access to rich private estates and rich farmers' land (the farmers weren't poor, plus the agricultural runoff caused a cancer hot-spot and the waterways to run red). I blame the Normans.

Another Bridgend Ramblers walking making use of Pencoed Footpath 5 running from Hendre, south of the M4 to Woodlands Fields. Access was a bit of a challenge with two stiles not making things easy for walkers. #Ramblers #Access #RightsOfWay #Footpaths #Hendre #Pencoed #Walking #Wales #Cymru

'There will be many #footpaths simply lost'
August 19, 2024
Emily Unia & Miguel Roca-Terry"Thousands of miles of footpaths could be lost due to a massive backlog in local councils dealing with applications, campaigners say.
"The government has set a deadline of 2031 for all rights of way in England to be added to an official map.
"But data gathered by the BBC suggests nearly 8,000 requests to get public paths and bridleways added to the map have not been processed – and some date back to the 1980s.
"The government said processing applications was the responsibility of local authorities."
[...]
"'We’ve got tens of thousands of miles of public rights of way that are not recorded or protected across #England and #Wales.'
"'If we have a deadline then there will be many paths that are simply lost.'"

Who do I know with #arcgis
I did a Freedom of Information request for some data on rights of way and the data sent back appears to be formatted using British National Grid and fooling the online conversion tools.
If I can get the linked results into a GeoJSON format, using lat/lon, I can take it from there!

A very damp walk today surveying rights of way across St Mary Hill in Vale of Glamorgan. Blocked routes aplenty and damaged stiles all reported. These under walked routes will completely disappear over the next few years - use them or lose them. #ValeOfGlamorgan #RightsOfWay #Cerdded #Wales #Cymru

This is a pretty frequent occurrence all over the place. Some negative experience with East Sussex, but in neighbouring Kent it's truly abysmal - both blocked access issues but more noticeably missing/broken signposting, stiles and wooden bridges. #walking #countryside #EastSussexCountyCouncil #KentCountyCouncil #rightsofway https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-67937253

'More than 1,000 miles of footpath lost in Hampshire over past century'
The Ramblers: 'has estimated 1,115 miles of protected footpath has been lost in the former #Hampshire area since the turn of the 20th century.'
'Public #RightsOfWay are paths that anyone has a legal right to use. While these are predominantly used by #walkers, they can include bridleways also used by #cyclists and horse riders.'

An impromptu Slow Ways adventure today from Haverfordwest to Newgale. A quiet & peaceful walk on quiet undulating roads. The one section off road was a well maintained, accessible Right Of Way.

Threatened Irwell riverside path to remain open after all.
A developer has scrapped plans to divert a 300-year-old riverside footpath through a hotel lobby after a public outcry that a right of way was being “stolen” and “sacrificed for private gain”.
L&G now guarantees that “from the hotel opening date the towpath shall be dedicated as highway for use by pedestrians for public access in perpetuity”.

Please ensure that you report any broken stiles or blocked rights of way to the local authority. They can't do anything about it if they don't know!
I've just reported the below to my local authority in the Vale of Glamorgan. -
