I have hiked a couple of paths actually named after a hiking trail; I have hiked a paths created solely for a wellknown long trail, and locally called by that name. In Nederland this would not happen, because just about every path is used by multiple foot routes and it's never necessary to create a dedicated path for a hiking route. I guess in more nature-blessed environments can be a different story. Which means you can't correct naming errors without additional verification, preferably local survey. Peter Elderson
