Project2026

Project 2026 is part of the Equestrian Mapping Project. It provides a platform for each highway authority area in England and Wales where volunteers can record paths that they believe need investigating for the existence of unrecorded public rights of way and help to compile evidence for a path. Each highway authority area shows routes for investigation on a map and has an associated database of research records (one for each route) and an evidence library. Help pages are available. You do not need to to apply for a login for 2026. Go to the county page which interests you and viewing is open to all. To contribute, the site will prompt you to register an email address to receive a PIN.

The line can then be picked up by others to add to Project 2026 or to develop into a Ride Map or share on Dobbin. You do not need to to apply for a login for Map My Hack.
