Report it to the relevant PRoW Officer. The landowner should be forced to maintain the Way. Actually, AIUI, the landowner can't be forced to, but if the landowner won't reinstate and clear the path, the council must. The council can then charge the full cost of them doing so to the landowner - which is likely to be far more than if the landowner did it. The threat alone is almost always enough to get them to do it. But occasionally, I suppose, the landowner can't be tracked down. The local authority still has to keep PRoWs open. Also you don't need to figure out, yourself, who the PRoW officer is - just contact the highways department of the local authority.

OK should have both Oxfordshire and Bucks now. (discovered the latter was also on geofabrik) It may take some time to render first time you try somewhere out, as it's got to generate the geojson from the database... but the geojson is now cached making it much faster on subsequent requests.

Sorry - to follow that up, contours aren't available for the whole of the area. I'll try and sort this out but might be some time as I don't have the files to hand.
