I used an app on my phone to record my position. I entered the recorded data into Google Maps. If you view the Google Maps on your phone, the map shows a little Blue Dot where you are. You can be reasonably sure you are following the right route.
I soon exhausted most of the easy walks I could find around Newbury so I ventured further afield. I use Google Earth Pro to show footpaths and bridleways within each surrounding County, downloading the data from the various council websites.
