A minor change request to a bridleway alignment.

On OSM presently, the bridleway is marked from this point S of Barrow Farm, Much Hadham, ENE to a gate in a single straight line. This is not how it works in real life!

The landowners' signs and waymarkers has the bridleway going to the same gate in a three-sided rectangle. The bridleway goes around the green hedge SSW, then goes ENE parallel to the OSM-marked bridleway, then NNE to the gate.

In the shared folder below is a map recorded from a GPS trail and a screenshot of Herts' County Council's public copy of definitive map. The definitive map shows a third option (!), which isn't how the waymarking actually is.

As at Jun2018, the current map shows the footpath crossing the railway. This is now incorrect. The footpath has been diverted from a level crossing to a bridge over the railway. The stiles, and their related steps down to the railway level's crossing, are removed.

A pending update on OSM is the location of the new bridge. It now needs somebody who knows what they are doing to remove the stiles, level crossing and stitch the bridge into the existing path (the Hertfordshire Way).
