[Tagging] How to tag a trail blaze

Hi all, Someone on our local list is asking how we can tag such trail blaze we meet in the countryside to mark a hiking route. Here is a picture of two fixed on a fallen tree: https://plus.google.com/photos/107503929149262426060/albums/5717596284661304225?banner=pwa He is asking because a local

In some areas of the country (noticeably the Fens, with their wet soil, I think) there are concreted areas beside farm tracks, that farmers use for storing things on (such as hay bales). I don't know what these are called, and have generally not mapped them, but they are a noticeable feature of

Looks nice to me. Is already in (very rare) use. Problem is that it is very perishable data, at least in this part of the world. These signs have to be repainted very frequently, and will not always be repainted in the same place. Volker Padova, Italy On 9 March 2012 15:45, Pieren

I *think* a fitness station is a stop on a fitness trail. Some parks and children's camps have a marked trail that you travel along, and at each stop there is some sort of activity to do - a rope climb, step climb, balance beam, tire running, pull up bar, that sort of thing.

I understand the issue with the tag value of gym. I talked to the owner of a gym I use. He said that they typically use gym in conversation with others in the business. Fitness club/center is also used. He differentiated gym/fitness center with health clubs in the range of services offered.
