The Southern section (name North Boarhunt?) only has signs about 'Riders needing permits', which previously I thought applied to cyclists. But now I think means Horse Riders.

Yes, I mapped the paths in Upperford Cose as highway=footway when I
originally surveyed them years ago. I guess it is understandable that
the FC want to discourage riders in that area as the paths are generally
much narrower than the rest of the forest.

It's looking great. From what I recall there are some more paths in the
South-West corner near the A32 but it certainly looks like all the main
ones are covered.

I'm up for it. Finding enough to sustain a mapping party might be
difficult (South Hants is more or less road and footpath complete) but
we could make it a social. Anyone else interested?
