SM29: (Becks Lane to Southam via playing field). Status - There is a public footpath but it is poorly marked and only negotiable with extreme difficulty by persons who already know the way and are able to trample down the long grass and thistles and cross ploughed fields and other fields with crops growing to get through. Hence it is not viable for anyone other than young people, dogwalkers etc who actually know the path, and they will need very good footwear - hiking boots or wellington boots in order to negotiate the boggy areas, brambled areas and open ploughed fields.
SM30: (Tomlow Road to Napton Road). Status - Waymarker missing from gate at Tomlow Road end.
SM182: (Countrywide Stores up to the Rugby Road). Status - no problems.
SM183: (Elm Row to calley pits). Status - no problems
