Thanks for your feedback, guys. On reflection, I now agree that route
relations should generally be reserved for waymarked routes. I also
agree with Richard F's comment that there is a need for a separate
repository for sharing the sorts of unofficial routes I am talking
about.

If I go into my local bookshop, I would probably find at least a dozen
books of local walks, all different. They'll have given each walk a
name, sometimes fancy, sometimes simple. OK so I live in a bit of a
tourist hotspot, but I think it has to be something a bit more formal
than just having a nam

There are named routes that aren't waymarked. Near me, for example,
there's the Little Dart Ridge and Valley Walk. I'd be inclined to add

As someone who does quite a bit of work on adding paths (including

Walk".

Don't tag them unless they're waymarked, _unless_ either they're proposed to
be waymarked (in which case you could do so with a "state=proposed" tag on
the relation), or
I think that walking routes are much more flexible than (say) cycling
routes, so there would be every prospect that umpteen different sets
of overlapping routes could be created by different people. So I'd
probably advise against putting them in the database unless they are
waymarked.

Where I live there is a Parish Paths Partnership (P3) Group,
where volunteers work with the council on projects to maintain
and improve access to public footpaths and brideways, e.g.,
waymarking, replacing stiles with gates, etc. They publish a
number of suggested walks on their website (the walks
