[Talk-GB] User adding their own open access routes in Scotland

[Craig Loftus]

I have just come across a user (Peter Wright [1]) adding his own
recommended routes across open access land in Scotland, for example
Changeset #12151621 [2]. His routes are actually published in a book
"Walking in Wilderness", available at your favourite bookseller for
the low low price of £7.99 [3].

Am I right in thinking that unmarked routes of this kind are not accepted?

He is adding them as single continuous ways tagged highway=footpath
and named WwW 26, which is obviously also wrong, but a separate
matter.
