[Talk-GB] Hants CC - Open Government Licence & use of data

Really what I meant was where the is a RoW (as evidenced by the 
definitive map) but the actual line that is used has moved over time, 
perhaps to avoid a fallen tree or an area that has become wet and boggy 
over the years or otherwise more difficult to traverse than the new line.

Therefore what happens is that that actual line used becomes different 
to the legal line, sometimes the definitive map is updated to reflect 
this but this seem to be normally only when there is another reason to 
modify the entry.

I hope that's clearer.

Regards
Robert
