[Talk-GB] Fwd: Re: Other Routes with Public Access

[Dave F.]

Hi

I've had a reply from the user who admits he based the tagging on an 
on-line OS map & has subsequently removed the specific tag.

The ways still have access tags such as foot, horse etc..

Do these lists use the name OR PA?

If not, then the only source is the OS which is copyrighted.

Tag what you see on the ground
