Heya, thanks for your work around Scafell at the moment! :D

Rather than deleting the line here, it might be better to keep the line but remove the highway=path tagging from it, and leave a note on it (as you have) which says it’s closed for conservation.

That way, if someone else comes along later, adding Lake District paths in from Strava Heatmap without actually surveying them in person, they hopefully won’t accidentally re-add this path. (People do often do this, unfortunately.)

I’d use http://revert.osmz.ru/ to revert this changeset, then re-edit the path to remove the highway=path tagging and update other tagging.

Hope that makes sense. I’m happy to make those changes if you want.

Have a good day :)
