A bit of an aside, but I was thinking that a useyourpaths.info type approach might be useful for countryside mapping, to encourage the (it has to be said) rather slow takeup of countryside mappers into OSM. One could almost have a "league table" of counties/parishes/regions where people could be encouraged to map all their parish paths - for OSM/Freemap - and have their parish appear on the top of the league for their county.
