Paging Ian Barrington and other gate lovers
Remember the gate map we talked about. Someone is on the case

I recall Ian's idea was something called 'Rate my Gate' where users could submit gems, both good and bad
May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: Paging Ian Barrington and other gate lovers
What is that supposed to be showing? I checked out a couple of markers local to me and it's unclear.
Re: Paging Ian Barrington and other gate lovers
Local to me it has the market gates [ its a no cycling area anyway and in the town centre and has no actual gate - its an arch
On the trials its rather randomly shows a gate to private land-/ driveway . They store a number of scrapper landrovers
Why you want to know either of these for cycling ,given you cannot cycle there, I have no idea

I think it is a gate filter over OSM data. It's the guy from cyclestreets trying to improve gate data nationwide.ScotRoutes wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 12:44 pm What is that supposed to be showing? I checked out a couple of markers local to me and it's unclear.
"We've been looking in particular at gate data, and around the UK there are
a lot of gates which don't specify access details, or have other areas.
Particular errors that are noticable, most of which are easily fixable,
are:
- In town/city areas, gates which implement gated communities, i.e. private
estates, are not always being marked as access=private, nor often is the
road going through them. These are often spottable by a pair of gates near
each other. Adding access=private to both is needed. These are particularly
worth fixing and very easy to do.
- Gates for a residence or limiting access to a track coming off the road
are sometimes being put on the main road itself rather than on the spur.
That means it is very ambiguous as to whether they apply to the road
itself. Again, these are easy to fix by shifting them to the side Way.
- Gates which genuinely restrict access often don't have access=... put on
either the gate itself or the Way following. E.g. a gate which stops
traffic but which people can legally walk/cycle round might have e.g.
access=no/permissive, foot=yes, bicycle=yes. Fixing these would help
routing and clear up a fair amount of mess on the map."

Re: Paging Ian Barrington and other gate lovers
I'll have a closer look once I get onto my PC and fire up OSM but some are placed on public roads...

Re: Paging Ian Barrington and other gate lovers
It's actually on The Island (as we're now calling it) and it's on the way to Appledurcombe House. The gate house is just on the right of the picture.
John Climber and co bivied right in front of it a few years back as well
The House has a chequered history, worth looking up if you're interested in those things.

Also on a cycle route
Re: Paging Ian Barrington and other gate lovers
I knew exactly where that was, before I even spotted who posted it (and I've only been there once)
Isn't it great how a single image instantly brings back memories.
That site could be a useful resource for planning - depending on the accuracy of the data. Will keep an eye on it, and contribute, when appropriate
