Weighing up how I build the desire lines data schema and what makes the cut.

First one has become quite a heavily used locals track that skirts closer to the river than the main Twin Rivers Trail, giving access to the riverbank on occasion. It is walled by Buddleia for a good part of it which is beaut in flower and provides shade, however it is a pest plant.

The path is mapped in OpenStreetMap as a footway (red dash) and visible from the aerial imagery, however it is not captured in the Google Earth data or the local Council’s data (solid yellow). This second one saves the day when there’s been a bit of rain. I think I’ll keep both these in and just build the schema around what’s going on.
