I understand the concerns. I reworded: excursion A signposted side track which rejoins the main track at or close to the point where it left, e.g. to visit a place of interest. The excursion is an optional addition to the main route. It's topology and purpose at the same time, where purpose can vary a lot but usually is about a POI, a viewpoint or something else worth the extra miles.I hope the idea comes across now.
