The bits of the path that were never accessible is good news (but ECP isn't new btw, just rebranded with better access).

But the thing is...why did no walkers who bumped into him ask him why Windsor Great Park is shut off for Thames Path walkers? He could change that.

The Thames Path used to go through Windsor Great Park, the ground of his castle but his mum decided to block it. It's never come back. You have a 2-3 mile diversion via Datchett and roads. It's horrible.

So if he is so pro-walking, why not start at home?

This is England.
The bare earth washing away as run off, as wildlife flees the monocultured plough. Meanwhile the barbed wire stifles access, and protects the privileged. Guardians of the countryside my arse.

Footpath surveillance. A footpath through a military base, where they remotely buzz you through a fortified gate without any checks. Probably an illegal (and pointless) obstruction to a public right of way, we thought.
