Blister Aug 2021 10:06pm, 27 Aug 2021 7,325 posts	0 Blister Ah, that sounds good and very local! Thanks Dave, I'll check that out. Just gotta be careful on the trails as I have twisted/sprained my ankle (same one) twice in the past 2 months!

flanker Aug 2021 1:38am, 28 Aug 2021 19,954 posts	0 flanker He's done similar to people off Catbells too RH - the quality of Openstreetmap depends where you are. Around here it's really good, because I spent an age correcting it and adding all the missing paths when we moved up here, based on a combination of importing my run routes and using the OS map. It went nicely alongside learning the local routes. Anyone can update it, although it can become a bit of an obsession!

Rosehip Aug 2021 9:58am, 28 Aug 2021 22,206 posts	0 Rosehip I did manage to change a couple of paths that had been wrongly assigned as bridleways and emove one private farm access as a footpath, but someone else must be very keen on adding not-paths from their routes back in again.
flanker Aug 2021 4:35pm, 28 Aug 2021 19,955 posts	0 flanker being anal & OT here, but you should probably leave the farm access in, as it is a feature on the map, but change it's "permission" to private.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
