dazlindazza Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have permissions on a local farm that adds up to about 1000 acres. When I first got the permissions the farmer drove me around in his land rover showing me which fields belonged to the farm etc and said that they were due to be drawing up maps for their shooters so we knew exactly which fields were theirs. Anyway, that was about 8 months ago, and after numerous calls, the farm manager still hasn't got around to producing these maps, and there's no way I can remember all the fields he showed me, and wondered whether there was somewhere I could find a map myself that would name which fields belong to which farm in a particular area.

markbivvy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I could find a map myself that would name which fields belong to which farm in a particular area. i don't think one exists. try multi map and make your own, with your farmers help.

Baldrick Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 wondered whether there was somewhere I could find a map myself that would name which fields belong to which farm in a particular area. No such thing available to my knowledge, as a farmer and surveyor. The easiest means to map it all out is buy an OS Explorer map of the area (1:25,000 scale), get the farm manager to draw on all the boundaries and field names in pencil, and then you can make copies to colour/highlight as necessary. I have lots of digital mapping tools at my disposal through work, but I find the simplest solution to be the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Try google earth and print out the pages you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Print off a map and get the farmer to mark which fields are his. Get a highlighter pen and colour it in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Buy an Ordnance Survey Map book (not the pamphlet type thing, they split after being opened a few times) for your area and ask to sit down with the Farm Manager to mark off the relevant fields ( I just put the Farm or Farmers initials per field). It usually takes about 10 minutes. I do this and always explain that I could lose my licence, plus catch a lot of other grief, if I am caught shooting on the wrong fields.

Scarpa Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Or go to the OS map site, hit get-a-map, save the pic with 'Print Sc' button, paste into paint and save as a file. You can even use paint to colour in the boundary lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Your local MOD base are handy for that type of thing. Providing you get permission from the land owner, they can fly overead and take photos etc, then digitalise the images onto an OS type piece of paper. We got this done for our airsoft site :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarpa Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 They often want you to buy the maps. Hit the Print Sc button on the keyboard, then open 'paint', click edit and paste, crop the picture and save it as a file. You can then open this with any picture viewer and print it off.

Big_Sam Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Dont forget that http://www.multimap.com/ now do the 1:25,000 as well for the OS maps. Just keep zooming in and it will change to the pathfinder series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 All farms, at least those that claim single payment subsidies and stewardship grants, have there holdings registered on the rural land register administered by the Rural Payments Agency (not the Land Registry) so the farm manager should have some of these you can photocopy. You won't be able to get hold of this yourself through the RPA though. www.magic.gov.uk lets you outline areas on OS maps and print them out.

Highlander Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Most farms have their own large scale OS maps (some are ancient) and if you've the right sort of relationship with farmer he should either be able to copy them or lend them to you to get copied.

Erik Hamburger Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi, Once you have sorted out where the actual boundaries of your permission are, have a look at this: http://wheresthepath.googlepages.com/wheresthepath.htm This shows 2 maps of the same bit of land side-by-side, one as a satellite view, the other as an OS map, showing al the footpaths. Very, very handy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
