Just catching up on my talk-GB email and was looking at Nick's nice new free-map. Ilkley Moor is on, so it is clearly Ideologically Sound. Thanks Nick.
The Yorkshire moors look very "empty" though. There is a whole wealth of detail that can be added from NPE and local knowledge. Many non-population locality names though do not fit our standard tagging. I wondered what other folks are doing? Do you think tagging for local cultural practice a good or a bad thing? If yes, is anyone working on this? Do you have any favourite tags that you would like to share? Here are some I've been trying out for northern Yorkshire: natural=moor - self explanatory, I've added a couple of hundred of these if Nick wants to render them. hint, hint. :-) natural=fell - for name tagging where the sides or a side of a hill are named rather than a peak. Just a few done. natural=erratic - for large single natural stones or groups of stones whether truly glacial erratics or not. natural=cliff - Here I am doing the reverse, stretching an existing tag for mapping scars, which are often steep but not vertical or very high. historic= tumulus, stone_circle, standing_stone, mine, adit, shaft, bell_pit, industrial, road (Roman roads), house, church ...
