I was delighted to find that after the routes I applied to record at North Mymms were added to the definitive map this month, it brings my total of equestrian routes created or protected to 60km! @openspacessoc @britishhorsesociety

It was good to hear this week the @hertscc North Mymms 92 & 93 Modification Order 2026 was confirmed. Our secretary Phil @parachutemind applied for the routes in 2010 and they just reached the top of the queue! pgbt.org.uk/promotion/northm… More paths saved from #PathExtinguishmentDay!
And congratulations to our Honorary Secretary! @parachutemind
Congratulations to our chairman, Phil Wadey, who has been made an MBE in the #NewYearsHonours. Phil has worked to add paths to the definitive map for over 35 years, and we hope his award serves as a reminder to the government to prioritise rights of way: bit.ly/4pdaR8h

Delighted to see the High Court challenge to the confirmation of the Little Berkhamsted 18 bridleway modification order was rejected. Subject to any appeal, it means the path should be reopened.

Judgment now available on BAILLI. Well done everyone!
Bloor Homes have applied for outline planning permission at Harperbury next to previous development. We're asking that Lime Way & link from Shenley 13 BW to Lime Way be dedicated as BW. It would be helpful if supporters commented on the planning applic Number 25/0885/OUTEI.

Only 1999 days left until #PathExtinguishmentDay in England, unless HMG puts forward primary legislation for repeal. Come on, @DefraGovUK please find a repeal opportunity! @openspacessoc @BritishHorse @RamblersGB @natural

Pleased the Inspector confirmed three paths in Kelshall, N Herts last week (2km of route). Two byways in regular use + a bridleway not used for some time. Now all protected from #PathExtinguishmentDay. See pgbt.org.uk/promotion/kelsha…… for more details. Applied for these in 2010!

Really pleased that an Inspector has confirmed @hertscc's order recording bridleways Brickendon Liberty 30 and Hoddesdon 73. Great work from @BritishHorse and a better alignment for the #H25.

We're hoping to open another section of the #SHPR Stevenage Horse and Pony Route during this mayoral year - touch work but last year's shows it can be done when all are willing! 😀
Last month, the Mayor of @StevenageBC opened a new bridleway that we and the @BritishHorse Society had worked to create. Impressed that the Mayor arrived on bicycle before putting on his chain of office. This path is path of the Stevenage Horse and Pony Route #SHPR.
ALT Photograph of the people at the official opening of the bridleway. Six people stand behind a blue ribbon, Mayor of Stevenage central with scissors flanked by the chairs of the two adjacent parish councils, behind can be seen a cyclist and some horse riders. The people are all standing across the path, and there are trees to either side.
Thanks also to @hertscc for agreeing the public path creation agreement needed to record the path.

Glad to have recorded this path properly. "Only" 29 years from application to confirmation! @BBCEmilyUnia 's article on BBC News yesterday showed delays in processing applications is a national worry in the lead up to #PathExtinguishmentDay.

Pleased that @hertscc has advertised the confirmation of the HCC (South Mimms 72) Modification Order 2023 today. We applied for this change to the definitive map in 1995. pgbt.org.uk/promotion/southm…
