V65a/V65b/V67 & V66/ V65d & V65c paths connecting too or running through Bonchurch Landslip.  The land is moving and slipping, flights of steps are damaged and out of align.  A diversion via Leeson Road and Bonchurch Shute will be required to bypass this.
In addition to this there are many fallen trees all over the network.  Forestry England who look after the likes of Brighstone Forest and Parkhurst Forest are aware of trees down across public rights of way and the informal forest tracks and are working to clear them.  If you find a fallen tree within Forestry England forests across the paths and tracks please report this to southern.reception@forestryengland.uk
We are aware that there are fallen trees across paths R32, R104 in the Ashey area that the landowners are clearing them.
Other routes in the off-road rural rights of way network might have issues such as paths covered by water, fallen trees, gullied out surfaces and bridges washed out of alignment, so please take care and apply your common sense, do not pass any closure signs.  Please report any safety problems you come across to row@iow.gov.uk  a precise location (the what 3 words website is excellent for plotting the location of things) and a photo is really helpful to enable us to find the site.
