Shipwrights' Way 142 Here is a bridleway signpost for the SDW.  Shipwrights' Way shares the next mile with the SDW.  However the Hants CC interactive map shows the following section of the routes as a footpath rather than a bridleway but this should not be the case for the Shipwrights' Way.  Perhaps I have misunderstood something.  I also thought I had taken this image further south.  If anyone can help please do.
