The JLAF is a statutory body established by the three councils shown above, to provide advice as to the improvement of public access to land in the area of Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol City and South Gloucestershire for the purposes of open-air recreation and enjoyment of the area. Its views do not necessarily represent those of the three councils.

The JLAF website has been designed to be accessible to all users and complies with the following standards:

JLAF OutdoorsWest Working Group

A JLAF Working Group advising on a template for publicising routes for walkers, horse riders and cyclists.

Context for this group:

The three Councils are working on a Joint Outdoors Access website, and have reserved a number of web domain names for such a site. The website will be designed particularly to get new users using paths, but also hold general information and advice on public rights of way for users and landowners. The website will include walks and rides for people to download and follow.

The purpose of this group is to advise on a good template for such walks to be displayed on the website, for download and use on paper, and consider the potential for using GPS type devices. Such routes can also be distributed in paper form. The group may also wish to advise on other aspects of the website design. The groups can advise on work identified under Theme 3 of the ROWIP – Providing Information.

ROWIP à increase use à increase users à Providing Information à Joint Website à Walks and Rides

The group will start with advising on route templates and the website, but may become a sitting working group who can consider and test submitted routes.

The notes of this group are now held on an intranet site during preparation of the OutdoorsWest website. Please contact Chris Hogg if you need access to this.

Please contact the JLAF at secretary@jlaf.org.uk with any suggestions for addition or amendment.
