[talk-au] Deletion of walking tracks/paths

[Tom Brennan]

On a related (track-y), but slightly tangential note...

Is there any consensus on the use of sac_scale as the measure for trail 
difficulty in an Australian context?

Personally, I hate the idea, because:
- Australia has little in the way of real mountains
- the values bear no relevance to Australian conditions
- we're tagging for the renderer

However, I hate the idea *more* of having no trail difficulty measure, 
and for better or worse:
- this one exists
- it's widely used, and rendered

cheers
Tom
