[talk-au] Bicentennial National Trail

[Mander Li]

I tried to create a "Bicentennial National Trail" relation, but found 4 relations of this name:

Relation 176684: created in July 2009 by John Henderson with route=hiking. This covers 213km from Canberra CBD to Taralga (half way between Canberra and Sydney)

Relation 2347837 created on 13/8/2012 by Nick Barker with route=hiking. This covers about 95% of VIC section, 40% of Canberra section, 2% of NSW section, 1% of QLD section. Total 715km of which 53km of the Dargo High Plains Road is not part of the BNT

Relation 2347838 created on 13/8/2012 by Nick Barker with route=bicycle. This is almost the same as Relation 2347837 (with less ways and without the 53km of Dargo High Plains Road). Total 645km.

Relation 2347839 created on 13/8/2012 by Nick Barker with route=mtb. This is the same as Relation 2347838.

Question for Nick Barker: Why 3 relations? BNT is a trail for walkers, MTBers, and horses, so these 3 relation will be the same.

Question for John Henderson and everybody: what should be the route type (route=hiking, bicycle  or mtb) when the trail is for walkers, MTBers and horses?

I suggest:
1. Relation 2347837: to be renamed as Bicentennial National Trail - VIC section; and remove sections in other states

2. Relation 2347838: to be renamed as Bicentennial National Trail - NSW section; remove sections in other states; and merge with Relation 176684 

3. Relation 2347839: to be renamed as Bicentennial National Trail - QLD section; and remove sections in other states

4. Relation 176684: remove all sections; put Relations 2347837, 2347838, 2347839 into it as members; ie this relation will become a super-relation with 3 relations as member

5. Change all 4 relations to have tags: route=mtb, foot=yes and horse=yes
IMHO, this is becasue 1) BNT is for road bikes, 2) trails for hiking may not allow MTB, 3) 99.9% of trails that allow MTB also allow walkers, 4) it allows the tags "mtb:difficulty=advanced, and mtb:type=crosscountry as in now Relation 2347838

John Henderson, you won't be able to see the trail at hiking.waymarkedtrails.org, but it will be at mtb.waymarkedtrails.org. 

Any comments? or I'll do it.
