[Talk-GB] Long Distance Paths

Have we got to the stage of mapping these that it would be worth the effort in replicating a rendering similar to OpenCycleMap?. The wiki page on long distance paths seems to have a pretty comprehensive listing and you can get nice maps when you browse the relation for individual routes. It would

I don't think there is anyone rendering it explicitly at the moment, however, it would be trivial for someone to take the OpenCycleMap code and apply a similar style to an OpenWalkMap. Having said that, there are a number of people who are experimenting with different map displays, so there is
