>I think the 'names' should be removed from these 'unnamed' things ..the 'name' is the name of the route not the individual tracks/paths some of which existed before some routes were created.

>Note I am not that familiar with the above 2 routes but am familiar with two near me .. and those routes are relatively recent compared to the tracks and paths they use.  I am useing those 2 routes as more people would be aware of them than the ones I know.
