DSC_7914 - Danger Hidden Sign

Beside the most pointless bit of footpath known to man - in the gap between the gateposts of some old estate are two paths, separated by a wall and the type of metal pole railings beloved by the council. The one to the right is steps going up to meet a gate to a private house. The one to the left goes straight ahead beneath the wall of the right-hand one, rising gradually. The lower path meets a fence whereupon it bends back on itself, going up a slight ramp to become the right-hand path. So there's steps and step-free access up to a gate at the back of house whose hidden exit is up the hill. And that's the only purpose this chunk of land serves, despite being fairly obviously public property. Judging by Google's satellite version of the place... blast, I just prepared a map of the area demonstrating what I was talking about, but Google, bless its little electron socks, decides the public version must carry my name. Not so useful. Anyway, the lines of wood, roads and gardens imply there used to be a track which continued along the axis of the path.

 

Anyone else tempted to amend the H to an M?
