Fieldsman
Trails Ltd, a pioneering publisher based in Mold, North Wales, has for fifteen
years devoted itself to the publication of mapping information for the urban and
rural environments in alternative formats. Fieldsman Trails has recognised that
whilst physical access within our environment has taken significant leaps
forward; the biggest barrier is the lack of information, resulting in people
simply not knowing what access provisions are already available.

Snowdonia National Park Authority have
commissioned Fieldsman Trails to produce walks information for MP3 downloads
from their website. Maps will also be available for transcribing into Large
print and Braille formats. The "Voice Trails" will take the walker
along The Mawddach Trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth(9miles) and through
Coedydd Aber to Aber Falls(3miles). Colin Antwis will also be leading groups
of visually impaired walkers on "Live Commentary" walks along the
same routes.

Trails latest work has taken advantage of the Internet, Wrexham Access Guide, to
help make their mapping information even more accessible. This work focuses on
the barriers to physical access within Wrexham town centre and enables
Wrexham County Borough Council to provide the general public with factual
location based access information in multiple formats. This allows people
to choose, using their preferred information format, their favoured route
around the obstacles they will encounter in the town centre - information
that is particularly valuable for disabled people.
Fieldsman Trails calls
this approach to the provision of location based access information the
BarrierFreeMapÔ.
The
BarrierFreeMapÔ
proposition
is simple: All
location based access information shall be available to all people in all
formats at a time and place of their choosing

In 2004 Fieldsman Trails received a bursary from
the Eric Hosking Charitable Trust. These annual awards provide financial
assistance for projects that promote, in particular, Bird Life through
writing, photography, painting or illustration.
Eric Hosking was a foremost Bird Photographer who
himself was partially sighted after loosing an eye when attempting to
photograph a Tawny Owl in Wales. It is therefore doubly apt that Fieldsman
Trails should receive a bursary for the preparation of a series of framed
Tactile Bird images, that will enable blind and partially sighted people to
explore through touch the different shapes of birds bodies, beaks and feet.
