Gruff, if you're still reading this, Andy has passed the buck back to
you. What is your advice?

This is going round in circles...

Gruff: Hello, I'm relatively new to OSM, I believe this path shouldn't
be shown, what to do?

Everyone: Assuming it's not totally invented, keep it but tag it and
blame the data consumers / apps / etc. if they still display it.

Andy: If you find maps and apps that misrepresent the path ... tell DWG.

Me: How exactly am I supposed to filter out this path without also
losing the important path from Scafell Pike to Mickledoor, and who
knows what other collateral damage?

Andy: "Gruff is better placed than me to answer that."
