This is the notice in the Stratford Herald that I found that led me to the planning order:

To prove that it exists, I went and photographed Point C (per the town council's map) on the new re-routed bridleway around the #ShakespeareMarina at #StratfordUponAvon, which hugs the edge of the private car park for the rich people with small boats.

I believe that this sort of reconnaissance and reporting back is called #scouting, or something. This probably earns me a using-a-camera-in-the-rain badge. (-:

Absolute 'no-brainer' here, if you value your #rights of way, right to roam and generally getting out in the #countryside using byways and #bridleways and you're in the #UK you should be on this:

Environment minister breaks government pledge to save historic paths

We have condemned the Environment Secretary’s decision to break the government’s undertaking last year to ditch the 2026 deadline for recording lost paths in England.  Thérèse Coffey has now decided not to revoke the deadline but to extend it for five years. The deadline means that on 1 January 2031, public rights over thousands of paths, which are public highways but not yet recorded as such, or not yet recorded correctly, will be extinguished: public rights over them will then be lost for ever. Says Kate Ashbrook, our general secretary and a member of the stakeholder working group which has

After listening to the incessant rain last night, I almost had 2nd thoughts about pioneering the #SlowWays route from #Buckfastleigh to #Ipplepen today - expecting #Devon #byways & #bridleways flowing like rivers or boot-deep in mud. A bit of both, but surprisingly passable. A flooded meadow proved more tricky. The original route, Bucipp 1 fails due to an access issue (lack of!), but I’d an alternative up my sleeve - Bucipp 2 gets 4⭐️ imo.

This clapper bridge spans the Becka Brook in the wooded part of the valley between Greator Rocks and Smallacombe Rocks. It’s a route from Haytor to Hound Tor, so very popular in the summer. Nice & quiet today though 😊.

I’m no horse rider, but I think you would need a sure-footed mount to negotiate the mossy boulders of the bridleway on the way down, which was also running like a stream after days of rain.

A lovely old mossy packhorse bridge over the River Bovey, Lustleigh.
Lustleigh Cleave is a magical mossy place, a lush temperate rainforest.

It’s fantastic that trains again run to Okehampton. Easy car-free access to the high moor. And a nice little train ride too!
A loop to Belstone Tor today, through the East Okement valley. One of my favourite walks, beautifully autumnal today. A sunglasses & waterproofs kind of day.

Reviewed a route from Lapford to Crediton as part of the #SlowWays network. A damp start, which turned into a lovely afternoon. Walking ancient (albeit a bit wet and muddy) #byways and #bridleways through the beautiful, peaceful mid #devon countryside. Reached Crediton just as the sun went down, tired and muddy (and with squelchy boots), but happy.
