There is no chuffing way I am allowing our NCN coverage to go to pot on 1st
April! Least of all Lon Las Cymru (NCN 8):

      "Anyone who can spot when Richard Fairhurst goes to Wales..."

(It's a terrific route - anyone with a taste for adventure should cycle it.
That and the equally wonderful Pennine Cycleway [NCN68].)

There's two elements to fixing long-distance route relations: the
constituent ways, and the relation itself. First job is to make sure the
ways themselves are ok. You can do that easily with the aid of any editor
(even J***) and Frederik's OSM Inspector, which now offers OpenCycleMap as
background imagery.

After that, the relation itself should be pretty trivial. I'm intending to
write a couple of scripts to help safeguard these relations, but please
don't wait for it; go ahead and remap the constituent ways.

cheers
Richard
