Superb! (And thanks for the namecheck – most chuffed!)

Still limbering up for a big NCN expedition in a few months…

As for the A-roads, I ticked off a few more in Shropshire today, so we’re doing our best to prove you right.

Unfortunately I’m not fearless enough to cycle along them all, and don’t have a car. That was the only mistake that I noticed, the others were probably insignificant or too specific to London for me to notice. I understand that you aren’t trying to be misleading, it can be hard when you are put on the spot.

Well get on with it then! There’s plenty of other mistakes in the interview as well, but I don’t think many of them are particularly misleading and certainly not intentionally misleading on my part.

You mentioned that all A roads are done, which isn’t true up here in Scotland.

Yep, just add the tags to any road that needs them. If the route disappears off down a side street, you need to break the first road into two sections and apply the tag to the appropriate parts. And finally, you can use cycleway=opposite_lane to indicate the contra-flow along a oneway road.

Hi,

I was wondering whether you might be able to write a super-short tutorial for adding to the LCN routes on Open Street Map. Do you just simply go along adding the lcn_ref tags? And do you have to break apart roads to divide off the cycle way? And what about where there is a cycle contra-flow against a 1 way road?
