Rød ringløype in Fredrikstadmarka

Posted by vibrog on 14 September 2008 in English. Last updated on 15 September 2008.

Added a few minor trails in Fredrikstadmarka,
worked on getting the relation:route for "Rød ringløype" correct (thanks to user dagbj),
and added marked_trail:blue for the trail connection from Rekustad to Hatten.
Still lots of marked_trail:blue and route:ski tags there that needs review.

I spent a week in Torsnes outside Fredrikstad this summer,
exploring the last bits of trails in Heiefjella and Thorsø-tangene.

I've traced footpaths based on over 30 tracklogs collected while mountain biking
there over the last three years.

The amazing aspect of user contributed maps is how accurate and
up-to-date we can make them. This spring they released a brand new map
of the area called "kulturhistorisk turkart" (historical hiking map).
The mapper obviously haven't revisited any of the trails recently (last 5-10 years),
as some tracks (what would have been tagged tracktype=grade4) are now
been overgrown by vegetation, and are hardly visible.

I also added woods for Torsnes, drawn after Landsat imagery and
corrected near GPS tracks of roads and trails, as well as from
memory of what the terrain looks like.
