13. Unsigned footpath out of the village of Coaley. There were a couple of occasions where footpaths at the edges of villages were unsigned and would have been difficult to find without the gpx file. km from start — 13 May 2021
-
14. This section of the walk, south from Coaley heading towards Ashmead Green, was very poorly signposted, the path was not visible on the ground (not well travelled?) and there were frequent electric fences to control the movement of cattle crossing the path/s. As a walker I gained the strong impression that the little to no effort was made by the person/people responsible for the land to maintain public rights of access. km from start — 13 May 2021

15. The final part of the route into Dursley passes through an area of recent housing development and some of the paths are incomplete. km from start — 13 May 2021
