text: According to Ordnance Survey these paths do in fact join and I have joined them: http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=555163&y=203129&z=120&sv=chipping+ongar&st=3&tl=Map+of+Chipping+Ongar,+Essex+[Town]&searchp=ids.srf&mapp=map.srf
  
  However.....they do not resemble the official rights of way on Ordnance Survey in the link that I have provided. OSM seems to be following rivers and hedgerows and OS seems to be using the RoW straight line approach.
