Talking of walking routes in a more general sense , i.e. not official long 
distance paths but a favourite route/circuit e.g. the Old Dungeon 
Ghyll-Pike o'Blisco-Crinkle Crags-Band-Old Dungeon Ghyll route in the Lake 
District (excellent last day of last year's mapping party - a rare normal 
summer day in the abnormal summer of 2007!) do people see a scope for 
these to go into OSM itself, or best kept as a separate database which 
Freemap currently does?
