OS footpaths

I mistakenly identified the "path" on my last walk as a path but it turns out to be a parish boundary. No wonder I had a hard time over that rough moorland.

Thanks to Bowland Climber for putting me right. I was aware of the similarity but perhaps had a bout of wishful thinking.

    I find the symbols on OS maps can be a little confusing sometimes. Especially as I generally only look at them on Bing Maps and there's no key on there!

    Paul - This is a minor lapse in their unusually exemplary presentation.

    Yes, they’re remarkably similar and easily confused.

    Ruth - at least the paths are shown in England. As you well know you have to find them for yourself in Scotland.
