I am researching the Postman's Paths of old - those paths taken by rural postmen to shortcut between farms and rural homes. They ceased to be used in the early 1970s when Royal Mail decided to use vans instead. This is the one that postman Ben Vicars served in the 1940s and 1950s in Boot, Eskdale, Cumbria. I've sketched it out as a short walk (it takes two to three hours and is easy to follow). I'm posting it here so people can try it out - let me know what you think! (alanjcleaver@gmail.com). P.S. There is also a high-res version here that you can download and print.
