Hi, Thanks for reply. 

There are what I would describe as cycle barriers on either end of the path. That is two fences that overlap but with a large gap for a person to pass. I would interpret the barriers as discouraging the path but not blocking it. I've readded the path since it is still well formed and not blocked on either side along with my most recent update. 

I did consider adding access=discouraged but since there is only "cycle barriers" and no formal signage to discouraging it I've left the access tag it out but I've mapped it as a path with a higher sac_scale value to contrast the main paths which I've mapped as footpaths and a 0 sac_scale value for the most part. 

I didn't notice a sign but i will admit i wasnt looking for one. i also encounted a closed path with a diversion near the south. i've just added it but i didnt put down a gps marker for it and cant 100% remember where it is so i've made a rough guess on its location. i do plan to go back up there to explore more so i'll fix it in the future
