The Good, the Bad & The Ugly
It is an excellent idea that nefarious routes should also be highlighted. It may be that they are over used, but it could also be that they are dangerous or in danger of becoming so. Where walkers are concerned, it is very useful have a comprehensive view of their intended route.
