It's the Rhins of Galloway -- and one thing we currently lack is the
ability to have a label for a region stretch out along a path (which
could be a Way, I suppose). Otherwise you could have this name
stretching all the way down the sticky out bit.
As for the Galloway Triangle, there are lots of roads to be mapped
there, but they're definitely a car job -- The Rhins could be done by a
few bike mappers in a weekend, but it's a lot hillier in the interior of
the region.
I may be back in the area later this year.

And I think I should put smileys on my emails in future...
