text: Hi Euan, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for you contributions.
  
  The  reason GinaroZ closed this was because based on the way this is tagged, it should be reasonably  clear that this isn't a paved path for Road Bikes, currently it's "tagged" as a unpaved track with a grade3 surface - these are documented here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype?uselang=en-US
  
  I'm wondering what you're using for your bike routing? I've tried a couple of the common cycle planners that I use (cycle.travel and komoot) and komoot will only route me this way on foot or MTB.
