It was ever thus.
On the fells that's accepted, but through farmer's fields it's a complete farce when the Right of Way on the map doesn't match up to the stiles and footpath signs. (There's rarely a path on the ground, or black dotted lines on the map).
Around here even the signed footpaths are regularly ploughed up where they go across fields or around the edges. I think the farmer has 2 weeks to re-instate them, but it rarely happens and so the route gets altered.

If a ROW is blocked, ploughed, locked or even overgrown ... report it ... Here :)

Cheers Rudolph.
Reported it last time to council's rights of way chap. He didn't seem much bothered about it, so I'll use that link next time it gets ploughed up.
The local council seem more bothered with closing some footpaths (for our safety :eek:) and opening new wide tracks to allow disabled access (not much fun for running on) than maintaining the existing ones.
Re: Permissive Paths not on ma
A year ago I encountered a footpath blocked off with an arrow pointing right
and that was the only marker anywhere - managed to find a way round.
Contacted Wakefield MDC footpath officer, got a reply he would investigate,
month later footpath was re-opened.
Re: Permissive Paths not on ma
Five more paths I've remembered, so that's 38 I think! I'm not sure about the Taxal Edge one - I'd have gone that way on a training run to check but I'm still down with a cold after two weeks.
Roaches - Forest Wood Alternate Track
SJ985657 - SJ988657
A popular (but not signposted) track descends below the rocky outcrop W of Lud's Church down to the ROW by the river.
Taxal Edge
SJ997788 - SJ997792
Path used on the Whaley Waltz race and I think it's a permissive path.
Chrome Hill
SK076670 - SK064682
Signposted permissive path from road over Chrome Hill, links through to ROW.
Parkhouse Hill Access
SK082669
Short path from ROW to gate onto Access Land
Lyme Park - West Parkgate
SJ949815
Entrance into the park. Open only 8-dusk.
