Oh dear... Some highlights in my area: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlemap&mt1=mapnik&lon=1.36799&lat=52.60886&zoom=16 This is a very bumpy single track public bridleway with gates at either end. It's actually part of NCN1 but an alternative, longer route is provided for those wanting a smoother ride. http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlemap&mt1=mapnik&lon=1.22878&lat=52.62211&zoom=16 That cycle path is bollarded at either end and the track is for private use and has locked gates. So no, there is no access by motorvehicle to the university from the West. http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlemap&mt1=mapnik&lon=1.23534&lat=52.65464&zoom=15 You've got to be kidding me... Marriot's way is a disused railway path which is now a cycle path with horses allowed too. Motorvehicles are not allowed. The bridlepaths are all unpaved and muddy. And many more. Sorry, Google, but there is no substitute for surveys and local knowledge. -- Borbus. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
