...I actively engaged in the Ramblers Don't Lose Your Way campaign completing almost two hundred map squares...
I could go on....so it may be the case that many on here that argue the issue are doing something more, and just as likely that many who say nothing are even more active in this respect. Who knows?
I think sometimes more can be less...
I completed some squares for the Ramblers' campaign, but only where I could apply my local knowledge usefully. So after carefully studying the (still available) area that I know extremely well, I marked three or four routes that would prove useful in getting from A to B and/or have some aesthetic value.
When I later saw the results for my area, I was horrified to see that other people had simply copied every single 'lost way' there was, making a mockery of the whole exercise. Routes that went through housing estates (as in, through houses, gardens and shops!), along roads (where pavements already exist), or routes that served no purpose whatsoever. It didn't seem to occur to some people that a computer could easily have achieved a similar result in a split second!
Of course, it may be that you have excellent knowledge of each of the 200 map squares you completed and made an extremely valuable contribution... in which case I apologise profusely for implying that you were part of the problem...
Incidentally, I don't know if I'm more or less active than others in working on behalf of walkers. By contacting the Kent authorities, I've had some success getting misleading signs removed from gates, and I've succeeded in having finger posts and waymarkers installed (and reinstalled where they've been removed again!). But I've failed in other cases where my requests for action have been ignored for years and where I've been as far as involving the ombudsman before admitting defeat.
