[Talk-GB] electric fences

[Martin Wynne]

There are several instances locally where a footpath across a field is 
crossed by an electric fence.

The farmer usually fits a length of rubber hosepipe over the wire so 
that walkers can safely step over the fence. Sometimes with the aid of a 
couple of concrete blocks.

How to map? Technically it is probably a form of stile. But the problem 
is that the location isn't fixed. Electric fences are moved about 
according to which area of the field the livestock are currently 
grazing. In a large field the position could change significantly.

But walkers with restricted mobility do need to know that there is one 
somewhere in the field. The position might be important if there is an 
alternative gate or other access which could be used.
