Again, no opinion. > After having a quick look at some of them, then roundtrip is not applicable. I'm not sure without deeper inspection, but they appear to be circulars. Pretty much like an ordinary circular except they're run by private companies rather than TfL (or whatever it's called today) and using open-top double-deckers. I wonder how they've been mapped (if at all). :) > For hiking & cycling it is important for data users to know if you return > at the start when you just follow the waymarks.

If not you're going to have to find some way of getting back to your car. I believe some of the walks around here aren't round trips but in those cases they end at some point on a bus route that takes you back to the start. Of course with those you do have the option of walking back (I don't think any of them are one-way, and I believe that it is possible to walk them without being part of an organized group). > Most users have a leaflet with a touristic impression of a map and the > route, and location of parking lot and snackb^H^H^H^H^H^Hrestaurant.

That was the impression I got from a map of the walks I encountered unexpectedly whilst surveying: it just shows the walks and gives a few details. No explicit mention that you're not allowed to leave the route, people are expected to understand that could lead to them walking into unsafe areas or being prosecuted for trespass.
