[Talk-GB] “No path”

[SK53]

There's now so much information about this incident, or arising from it
(I've done 3 blog posts, with more to come, SomeoneElse has done one and a
Mastodon tootle thread, and there are other threads on a Mastodon Scotland
instance), that I think it might just be worth creating a wiki page to help
find all these various threads.
