    Thanks Paul, It seems that whereever one goes one cannot avoid bureaucracy. One pays a fortune for the latest OS maps but at the end of the day it all goes down to one thing: 'You have to check with the council". I wish it were like in Finland. I visited there 2 years ago and to my great...

    Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. It is very comprehensive and basically confirms what I have guessed the answer might be. I know that one of the local farmers (the owner of the uppermost farm along Baxton's Sprunt) is very friendly and helpful. Once he let me drive through one of his meadows...
