"If there is a time of year to discover a lost or hidden pathway - it is now - when the winter branches are at their barest, and the spring is still too new to have powered up the brambles..."

Got caught in the rain while scouting a walk on Pencoed footpath 41 near the underground reservoir on Cefn Hirgoed/Coity Wallia common land. Dramatic views and a smidgeon of blue sky over Hoel-y-Cyw 💚🥾🥾 #HoelyCyw #Pencoed #CoityWallia #OpenAccessLand #CommonLand #Walking #RightsOfWay #Wales

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
Fantastic to see all the hard work repairing Pencoed Footpath 29 so that it is more accessible come to fruition. The Bridgend Ramblers enjoyed there walk from Cefn Hirgoed Ridge down into Ystradwaun in Pencoed. #Ramblers #Cerdded #RightsOfWay #Wales #Pencoed #Cymru #Footpath #Ystradwaun #Bridgend
News is starting to filter out around the importance of having safe and accessible rights of way across South Wales.

On #NationalWalkingDay I'm thinking about the fantastic #RightsOfWay network we have in the UK and the hard work and campaigning of so many people over time to keep these crucial ways open for us, including @ramblers.org.uk @openspacessociety.bsky.social, British Horse Society, and so many more! 🥾🌳👣
Charborough sits in ‘splendid isolation’. The A31 delineates its boundaries, the original... road having been detoured away from the grounds... Along it runs the famous ‘longest wall in England’, built... to keep the local people out... There are no public #rightsofway.

A white wooden sign board affixed to a wooden post on a hillside with steep mountains in the background. The sign reads "Scottish Right of Way Society. Old Military Road to Kinlochleven. Please keep to the Path Otherwise it is Dangerous"
#ThrowbackThursday In the 1920s and 1930s, we installed many black and white signs like this one, our original sign for the Devil's Staircase in Glencoe which was installed in 1936 and only survived a few years. 1/2

Spouse is looking for a holiday let for a short break. We are eliminating places for a variety of reasons. The usual - not enough bedrooms, too far away - apply. But we have conversations like these: ‘Foulridge? Didn’t you have a case there? ‘. ‘Hmm, yes. Maybe not!’ #rightsofway
I’m reading an objector’s Statement of Case which refers to the “above entitled Modification Order”. This brings to mind concepts that they probably did not intend. #rightsofway
So we won the inquiry in York. Would have been embarrassing not to given that the opposition did not turn up. Now waiting on the costs decision. #rightsofway
Funnily enough around forty years ago I went to the Oxford Farming Conference to hear an estate manager talk about the benefits of having the public on their land. #rightsofway

Footpath legal question.
If a footpath is not specifically obstructed but is impassable when reasonably equipped:
e.g.
* Deep water not draining unrelated to exceptional rainfall;
* Animals churning up ground;
* Agricultural vehicles destroying tracks

This is very good news #rightsofway
Reminder: there is still no official open national map of public #rightsofway in England.
Some local councils do publish or release their PRoW spatial data on #opendata terms. Here are a couple of useful collections:
● osm.mathmos.net/prow/open-da...
● www.rowmaps.com
Thousands of miles of footpaths that faced being lost forever could now be saved after the government committed to lifting a deadline for all rights of ways in England to be mapped. People had been given until 2031 to have all historic but unrecorded public paths and bridleways added to the nation's official "definitive map". The government said scrapping the cut-off date would give councils time to assess whether paths met the requirements.

Some good news for public rights of way in England. I can't see the Defra press release on GOVUK yet, but this is presumably it farming.co.uk/news/governm...

This is a brilliant bit of news. Well done all those who have been pushing for this to be scrapped. #RightsOfWay #Footpaths
www.theguardian.com/environment/...
A victory for our 'right to roam' in Britain, keeping historic footpaths open and safe from the wealthy land-grabbers who have already stolen too much of our common land!

Great to see awareness growing around the work of The Open Spaces Society are undertaking with legal casework to protect commons, open spaces and paths.

To round off my #rightsofway week, I have sent the costs application to the Planning Inspectorate. It really is not on for professionally represented objectors to cause a public inquiry and then simply not to turn up on the day!
So the objectors did not show up! #rightsofway.
Just looking for my gaiters now for the inevitable #rightsofway post inquiry site visit in the slush.
