Autumnleaves Apr 2020 7:18pm, 1 Apr 2020 14,772 posts	0 Autumnleaves Conversely I felt quite sorry for one of our local farmers, people seem to have decided under current rules they can just ignore the path and roam right through the field - which clearly has seedlings growing through.

Fragile Do Not Bend Apr 2020 7:30pm, 1 Apr 2020 5,662 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend Around here, ploughed up footpaths just get flattened again by people walking on them, or if it’s not a popular path it just stays lumpy. It would be quite difficult to plough a field and avoid the footpath unless it’s along the edge of the field.

ThorntonRunner Apr 2020 8:25pm, 1 Apr 2020 3,056 posts	0 ThorntonRunner This is a path in woodland so not a field. The path had previously been undisturbed for several years. However there is work going on in the woodland and I have no knowledge in this area so it could be quite legitimate. It just seems that as soon as a path starts to reappear through people walking the route he then ploughed it again.

You could report it to your local PROW team but I wouldn’t be surprised if nothing happens, especially with what is happening right now. My local council has a map where you can see what’s reported and there are issues on there that haven’t been addressed for years.

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-)

And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
