I have found that a lot of rivers and streams in the Lake District are
mapped from the OS New Popular edition maps of the 1950s (these were
some of the first to be available as a mapping background). But they are
often not very accurate. I find that the OS OpenData StreetView maps
agree much better with my GPS traces, and I have adjusted many rivers
and streams (further south than Eskdale - Coniston/Windermere area) to
match these.

Hi
I've recently did some walking in Eskdale in the Lake District UK
using openstreetmap on my GPS. I'd like to add some stone walls to
help with the path navigation to the map but have noticed a number of
streams and the main river do not follow the Bing images very well.
Putting in the walls would require adjusting these. How to people log
streams/rivers and it is reasonable for me to adjust these using the
Bing images. Path and road data seems to line up well on the Bing
images so they would seem to be registered correctly. Some advice as
to the best way to approach this would be appreciated.
