There is a news release, dated yesterday, on the OS website about this,
which includes an extract from the new style: access land is yellow
with orange edging, national parks are magenta dashes: the latter
sounds awful, but (as one sceptical about National Parks both in
reality and on maps) I am obliged to say that it looks like the very
best of a bad job!
The aim is to republish all the sheets covering the first two areas for
the new access rights come into force on 19 September. (The remainder
of the mapping will be the current Explorer material, i.e. ex-Second
Series/Pathfinder material, dating back to the later 1960s in some
cases!)
