[Talk-GB] Strava heatmaps - permission reconfirmed

[Michael Booth]

Only problem is that Strava's iD fork includes the low-res heatmap 
tiles, plus I don't think the Slide tool works anymore and it's a really 
old version of iD.

The high-res heatmap tiles can be used in JOSM however, by creating a 
Strava account and following the guide at:
