FOOTPATH WORK
A good part of our work is trying to ensure that our local paths are kept in good condition and exerting pressure to see that obstructions are remedied as soon as possible.
To this end, the Group organises surveys of local rights of way, an enjoyable activity which improves map reading skills. In these we inspect the paths in a specific parish to see if there are any problems encountered in walking them, i.e. missing signposts, broken stiles, blocked ways. These surveys take place about once a month; the next ones are shown on the walks programme.
The meeting place is the same as on the walks programme, and we leave it at 9.30 am on the day in question.
However, you could report any problems that make a right of way difficult to use on your own walks. There are official forms available to do this if you wish which can be completed and submitted online via the Ramblers site. Alternatively you could contact our footpath secretary directly. A report will then be sent to the relevant authority and progress monitored.
