The one place I find this causes problems is on long distance walks - quite often on the website you've split them up into small sections which can be combined in different ways, or split off one small section which can be tagged on to the part on either side, and even if not, it's very easy to walk (part of) one section and part of another in a single day.
Tagging it with the whole route is fine if you did it all quite close together, but what am I supposed to do if (for example) I walked from Portavadie to the junction with the Glendaruel road, and don't know when I'll be back?? (Serious question - I am curious to know what you intended
)
