This path runs from West Bexington to Osmington Mills in South Dorset
(17.1 miles). I walked part of it
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/11637997> today.
It is an inland alternative route for the South West Coast Path,
avoiding Weymouth and Portland. and has just been renamed from 'South
West Coast Path Inland' to 'South Dorset Ridgeway'. This renaming is a
work in progress though, and some of the signage still says 'South West
Coast path Inland'.
According to the website http://www.southwestcoastpath.com/walksdb/188/
it is part of the South West Coast Path national trail.
I wondered how to tag it, so a couple of questions:
1. Should I add it to the (already too big) South West Coast Path
relation? The bits I've looked aren't currently part of any
relation. Or should there be a new relation for the South Dorset
Ridgeway?
2. Most of the sections I walked today were tagged with 'name=South
West Coast Path Inland'. That obviously renders well, but I wonder
if it is wise? (try a Nominatim search). As a temporary measure I've
changed this to 'name=South Dorset Ridgeway' and alt_name='South
West Coast Path Inland'.
Would appreciate your advice.
Martin
