(Sorry for top posting and lack of quote marks, duff mail client) FWIW I'm sure E2 exists. I remember recently reading something about the Pennine Way which suggests it was coincidental with the European route E2.
Wikipedia would appear to confirm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E2_European_long_distance_path Nick -----SomeoneElse <[email protected]> wrote: ----- To: talk-gb <[email protected]> From: SomeoneElse <[email protected]> Date: 09/01/2013 01:10AM Subject: [Talk-GB] European Walking Route E2 / Staffordshire Way / Viking Way Does anyone know what's going on with European Walking Route E2? I first spotted it when someone split the Staffordshire Way into 3 and added the middle relation to a new E2 super-relation. I found that a bit odd, but no odder than adding unsigned C-road references to the map. I've recently looked again and found that that super-relation is no more and a new series have been created: West Midlands: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1976230 (contains lots of the individual ways that also form the Staffordshire Way, and some others) East Midlands: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1976182 (contains lots of the individual ways that also form the Viking Way, and some others) These are in turn part of: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1959505 which consists of: Way Lower Lees Road (153526213) Way Henley Road (147988092) Way Henley Road (147988091) Relation European walking route E2, UK, West Midlands (1976230) Relation European walking route E2, UK, South East England (1976229) Relation European walking route E2, UK, East of England (1976183) Relation European walking route E2, UK, Yorkshire and the Humber (1976184) Relation European walking route E2, UK, East Midlands (1976182) Way Preston Road (152559211) (a curious mixture of ways and relations) which is in turn part of: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1956169 which is a European E2 super-relation. Here "operator:uk" is defined as "Long Distance Walkers Association", which also seems odd. But E2 isn't mentioned here at all: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Europe/Long-distance_paths The West Midlands part of E2 seems to miss the last 6-months's updates that I've made to the Staffordshire Way, which would suggest that defining this bit of E2 in terms of the middle bit of the Staffordshire Way would save whoever's updating it the job of manually editing it. It's the same with the East Midlands piece, as can be seen here: http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/en/?zoom=11&lat=53.08111&lon=-0.68741&hill=0 Does anyone know where this mystery E2 is coming from? I'm sure there are lots of sources on the web, but are any of them suitably licenced for inclusion in OSM? I don't believe that I have ever (on the Staffordshire Way or the Viking Way) seen an E2 signpost on the ground. Cheers, Andy (this question was prompted by me trying to update http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Staffordshire_Way#Progress to say something sensible) _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
