Looks kind of interesting, but I have trouble taking any organisation
seriously that still believes Avon is a county.
I've found that all authorities within my area are quite good at dealing
with the problems described on the ramblers website. If you give them an
accurate location & description (photos really help) & an explanation of
how it inconveniences the walker/rider, then there fairly speedy in
getting things rectified. Currently I'm getting a couple of kissing
gates replaced that you have to be a size zero to get through.

The big pathwatch runs until October, is open to both the general public and
ramblers members alike. The aim is to survey paths with a 1km grid square and
upload the results either through the app, or on the website.
Any square can be chosen, however there are key squares that must be completed
based on a sample of 200 per highway authority. I'm not convinced by this as
rural areas have sparse coverage, and urban areas have complete coverage.
Telford, semi rural has the same number of squares as Shropshire and
Leicestershire, and the lax planning rules caused by the new towns act will, I
am sure, bring up some interesting results.
I have downloaded the app, not too sure yet, can only highlight a bad stile,
not a good one.

Please do sign up, and complete some squares and add to OSM at the same time.
