Just over a year ago I converted the South West Coast Path into a
super-relation. (There's some discussion of the reasons why somewhere in
this mailing list). I broke the route into the 52 sections described by the
management body. So there is precedent for doing this. When the whole route
is broken up into child relations it would helpful if those sections were
intuitive or existed 'on the ground'. I also think it's very helpful if the
a wiki webpage is created explaining the super and child relations with
links to the webpage in the relations. This is what I did for the South
West Coast Path. I also added a note to the super relation and each child
relation to futher reduce chances of mappers making blunders when working
with the relations.
