[Talk-GB] Advice please: Goat tracks in mountain areas

[Peter Neale]

OK.  Sorry if I misunderstood you.  It must have been others in this thread that sugested making a gap in the highway recorded in OSM, in order to stop Strava routing over it.  My bad.

I haven't suggested falsifying anything. I suggested digging up a short 
section of the physical path, at least to the state where it is no 
longer visible as one. It need be only a few yards.

Then not mapping a path there is not falsifying any data, it is simply 
recording what is on the ground at the time of the survey. Which is the 
fundamental purpose of OSM.

I have several times created a footpath by trampling back and forth a 
few times along a right of way so that it becomes a visible path. Doing 
the opposite if it's not a right of way strikes me as equally valid.

cheers,

Martin.
