No-one has mentioned the numerous high fences which can either be scrambled through or underneath.

if it's a broken deer fence you use the broken fence symbol regardless of how high it is/was

[dch]

One possibility would be to use symbols which indicate whether crossing is prohibited and hight independently. For example:
- Thin line: crossing permitted
- Thick line: crossing prohibited
- Single tags: low
- Double tags: high

This should avoid the problem of how to represent high fences which are permitted to be crossed (but not the potential need to update the map according to permissions).

True, but I'm unconvinced there are that many land-managers who would be completely blase about unrestricted deer-fence climbing - a skinny W21E might be ok but 114kg of AndyC is going to do some serious damage if he just climbs up the wire at a stob

Can I just make it clear that I have no intention of climbing any deer fences - especially as if I tried there is likely to be very easy route for competitors afterwards!
However at Talkin Tarn on Saturday I had to maintain discipline about the fences which were indicated in the CD's as not to be crossed and I'm sure that at one point I could have saved 300m by stepping over one with relative ease. But the planner had bent the line through the crossing point and it was clear that fences were not to be crossed anywhere ( I even ran along a path which had a low one across it and ran around rather than potentially annoy the landowner) so it was the same for all.
