Merging this data I see that some ways that just lead to an NCN route (but
are not actually part of the continuous route) are still marked with the
ncn=yes;ncn_ref=xx tags for the route the lead to.
What's the feeling on this? I'm a bit torn:
- On the one hand they are not "the route", as in the signed route that goes
from A to B. They are simply access ways leading to "the route". Including
them in the route could be misleading.
- But on the other hand, the "on the ground" situation is that roads/paths
near NCN routes often have signs pointing towards the route and these seem
(to me) to be indistinguishable from the signs along the route.
I don't know about elsewhere in the country, but in Cambridgeshire the
council has used the parenthesis convention on such signs: the ncn ref
in the red block with brackets round it:

I think we could do well to do the same in the ncn_ref tag.
