[Talk-GB] Footpaths - search for the missing ones

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi Dave,

Two elements:

- This is GB wide. Prowmaps has a lot now but I think so areas are still
missing.
- Not all footpaths are registered and with a 2026 deadline the race is now
on to register old footpaths before they are lost forever.

Thanks,
*Rob*
