Update from November 2011 Meeting

The group met to review progress and discuss actions.

Waymarking and Route Maps
Waymarking has been updated along the route and we're planning to erect new posts where the route crosses the Welsh Way at Perrott's Brook, as several people have complained about lack of clarity at this point. 
Weather-proof route maps are being printed by GCC.  Suitable locations for posting the maps will be found at the current start and end of the route and at Perrott's Brook and Baunton where the route follows surfaced roads for short distances.

Next Stage of Development

Developing a route for riders between N. Cerney and Rendcomb is under discussion.  A footpath exists along the River Churn, but a route which could be used by bicycles and/or horses is a more difficult prospect.
We continue to look at possibilities with landowners and their agents and believe we are making progress, but no firm decisions have yet been made.  Members of the group are hoping to look at a couple of options in January (weather permitting).  Any suggestions from members of the public on this topic would be welcome.
