Problem with WS/RUSPER 1486/1-1
A map is shown below. The underlying map is an Ordnance Survey 1:25000 map that has been produced by Bing. On the underlying map, public rights of way (PROW) are indicated by dashed green lines. Solid lines have been superimposed on top of the underlying map (and will usually hide these dashed green lines). A solid red line signifies a footpath, a solid magenta line signfies a bridleway, a solid green line signifies a restricted byway and a solid blue line signifies a byway open to all traffic (BOAT). These solid lines have been produced from data obtained from the Council of Surrey (SU) and from the Council of West Sussex (WS). You can click on a solid line to get more details about that PROW. You can click on the + and - buttons to zoom in/out. Often the boundary line becomes more obvious if you zoom out.
WS/RUSPER 1486/1-1 is a footpath that goes from TQ177370 (51.12087,-0.31950) to TQ180374 (51.12408,-0.31456). At TQ180374 it reaches the boundary with Surrey. The footpath does not continue into Surrey.
I've looked at the online map provided by Surrey and the footpath is missing from that map.
On the map below, the red line for WS/RUSPER 1486/1-1 is superimposed on top of a green line that is provided by the underlying 1:25000 map. However, this green line does not continue Northwards of TQ180374 and so I conclude that there is no error in the data provided by the councils. For some historical reason, this footpath is a member of the clan of PROW cul-de-sacs!
