Hi Dave,

Two elements:

- This is GB wide. Prowmaps has a lot now but I think so areas are still missing.

True, but there are probably more recent OoC data than c.1900 for the few LAs which are missing from PROWMaps.

- Not all footpaths are registered and with a 2026 deadline the race is now on to register old footpaths before they are lost forever.

Good, but I see that as a project external to OSM. OSM can only contain current PROWs. I'm a little concerned historical "long gone" paths will be added.

Thanks,

    Hi

    I'm probably missing something. As we have current data on
    prowmaps.co.uk <http://prowmaps.co.uk>, will using such old data
    have any value/accuracy?

    Hi

    Just posted a "challenge" to Loomio for anyone who is interested.
    It's a bit beyond me so thought I'd post it here.

    Basically we have point data of historic footpaths (some 300k
    points) and I think it would be amazing to compare this to OSM to
    see if we can find more footpaths to map. Obviously some will be
    long gone due to 100 years of urban sprawl, but I'm hopeful we
    can still find some missing paths.
