I am against waymarkers, it takes the adventure out of it. It is still easy enough to find your route and it makes it feel more like an accomplishment doing the routefinding yourself rather than just following some markers.
Also, if people are not able to do basic route planning, maybe they shouldn't be out in some of the more remote locations and it may give people without any experience a false sense of security, possibly landing them in trouble.
I really don't mean this in an elitist way that these tracks should be reserved for experienced hikers, the level of navigation required to do most long distance paths is pretty basic and should be easy enough for anyone to pick up if they want to do one.
hope you have a quick recovery and can get out again soon!
