Thank TimsSC - I knew it wouldn't be simple! :( Where do we stand if I manually create a way (i.e. by tracing from Bing imagery or by surveying it) and then refer to this published definitive map to determine if it is a designated footpath/bridleway/BOAT? (And possibly get other details that could be used in tags/notes like an identifier).
Presumably this would be using the council's data and we would need some form of agreement with them? (God how I hate licensing/copyright issues!) If anyone has already had any contact with Northumberland council about this can they shout out? If we do need to contact them I wouldn't want to just go over old ground.
