Just to check, and apologies if I'm telling you the complete obvious: make sure that the OS 1:25000 map is not the only evidence you have of which side of the hedge the path goes. Make sure there's some evidence on the ground as well e.g. a way marker. Otherwise if you use that to decide where the path goes it's probably breach of copyright. >I went down the wrong side & >had to double back. It's happened to me before where a way marker tells me I went wrong at the other end. I think I've doubled back once or twice but sometimes haven't bothered because the difference between one side and the other is less than the GPS resolution. It would be more important in these cases to note where the hedge is with respect to the correct course of the path.
