- Does a walk that passes mean it will be quiet?
- No. The checks are about the ground: the roads beside the way, the roads to cross and the fields you pass. How busy a path is depends on the hour and the day, and a map cannot tell us that, so passing is not a promise that you will have it to yourselves. In the app, what walkers tell us about a walk is shown beside it with the date they went.
