[Talk-GB] Scottish paths map

[Adam Hoyle]

I’ve had a couple of conversations with the Ramblers about “Don’t Lose Your Way” (alongside Nick Whitelegg) and they are definitely keen to ensure the data can be used in OSM and very happy to be guided on that.

It’s been a long time since I had contact with them, so I’ll add a note to my to do list to get in touch and see how they are getting on and I’ll endeavour to update this thread when I have done so.

Best,

Adam (Volunteer Director / OSMUK)
