Thanks Thomas,

About 30 seconds after sending the email, I found the relationship window in JOSM and everything clicked, always the way :)

The answer to this, is to use a route relation.

Relations group nodes and ways which share a particular
characteristic, in this case that they're a part of the Ouse Valley
Way, multiple relations can contain a particular way, so you can, for
example, also have a section which belongs to a cycle route without
any tagging conflict.

The wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:route
contains all the details you could ever need, including step-by-step
instructions on how to create and apply relations to your ways.

You may also want to take a look over

which is tracking the mapping progress of the UK's LDPs.

I've started mapping the Ouse Valley Way which is a long distance path
running through East Anglia but I've run into a problem.

The route is using footpath/bridges etc which have already been named,
when I go to name the route by selecting all the paths used by the route
I've mapped so far, JOSM appears to be overwritting the name name of the
individual components of the route (i.e. a bridge can only have 1 name
tag but could have several routes running over it).

How am I suppose to handle this situations? Select everything that makes
up the route and name it Ouse Valley Way anyway?

Thanks
Trevor
