One of the more challenging issues I face when walking in the UK, Scotland especially, is knowing the type of surface. Often something appears passable on Ordinance Survey and OSM maps, but once you actually get there you find it's a bog, marsh or other type of terrain impassable with walking boots. Sometimes it's terrain that would be passable if dry, but when wet becomes too slippery (e.g. lots of very small but steep dirt mounds) or filled with streams. Are you aware of a good solution to this?
