  • I believe Ordnance Survey correctly represent the Derbyshire Definitive Map and the problem may not be unique to this county. The walk helps to prove that the map can be wrong. I struggled to find the path on the climb out of Wirksworth. Crossing the stream and summer vegetation didn't help so I may have lost my way. However the path at Duke's Quarries confirmed my opinion that the map is wrong. No way could the path marked on the map take me up the almost sheer rock face. The finger post incorrectly located one hundred metres along the road directed me along a well used but unrecorded twisting path through the remains of old quarry working and spoil heaps before meeting the definitive path at the boundary of the old working. This issue has been reported to Derbyshire CC. Should Slow Ways show the definitive path or the available and walked path? Reported 02 Aug 2021
