[Talk-GB] Stiles in the Peak District missing a stile tag

[SK53]

My father has ambitions to visit the Peak District this summer, but now
needs to avoid stiles (or at least those which are difficult for him to
negotiate). I therefore had a look at stiles around Castleton & quite a few
lack the stile tag to show the type of stile.

I therefore looked at the Peak District as a whole and around 1000 stiles
miss this tag (about 20%). In many cases I'm sure that we collectively can
improve this information from old photos, new walks etc.

The relevant overpass query is here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/15pl.

A follow up would be to ensure all ladder & stepover stiles have step
counts.

One thing Dad remarked is that stiles with an upright member as part of the
stile are easier as he can hold on to it throughout clambering over the
stile. I think these are commoner in Leicestershire where the upright bit
is painted yellow as a way marker. I'm not aware of any way of tagging
these.
