I had this problem in
Carmarthenshirehttp://sk53-osm.blogspot.com/2011/07/footpaths-in-carmarthenshire-whats-point.htmla
couple of years ago. I chose not to mark this on OSM because in
practice
the footpaths are non-existent. Also at least one ran through the front
garden of one of my sister's neighbours, so it seemed imprudent to insist
on my rights.

 Hi

 I was doing some walking/mapping in Rookhope (Weardale) a few weeks
 back.  Whilst I have managed to map out some walls to the West of Rookhope
 I struggled with the footpaths that go through these fields.  Two I
 attempted were obstructed.  (I've marked them with fixmes)  I have reported
 the problems to Durham County Council but have had no response from their
 web page for reporting problems nor from a direct email request for
 feedback.

 My general impression was that footpaths leading to the moorland are
 reasonably well marked but those crossing the fields neglected and not
 marked at all apart from the statutory signs by the metalled road.

 I'm not really in the position (too far south) to follow this up and was
 wondering if anyone knows of a walking group in this area that takes an
 interest in maintaining rights of way access that might be willing to take
 this on?

I would insist on your rights anyway ;-)

Neighbours aren't necessarily friends! (speaking from experience lol)
