An easier way in

We thought to get into this square by climbing out of Cwm Bwlch, but were defeated by deep mud. We drove up onto the hill, and parked in a disused slate quarry in the next square west; it was an easy walk from there.

Bridleway west of Bwlch-Llan, Ceredigion

This green and grassy route is mapped as a "road used as a public path".

Farmland and bridleway west of Bwlch-Llan, Ceredigion

Most bridleways in this part of Ceredigion are well signposted and "rider friendly" gates have been renewed widely in the last few years. Ordnance survey maps designate this route thus: "a road used as a public path". I think some definitions need a review.
