I might be interested in these, especially the Surrey one. I'd love to get on with more Snowdonia mapping but I'll probably just go for my annual meanders with friends. One thing I would like to do is to organise some mapping parties to try and complete the London Borough of Sutton. There's not /that/ much more to do, and if I can pull off some stuff at work it will be part of a major community regeneration project with a lot of local involvement: http://www.bioregional.com/misc/Pitch%20for%20partners.pdf Anyone interested?

I'd also prefer it to be a little later in the year, but could probably take part. I've been trying to fill in stuff to the south-west of Guildford on bike and in the car, but there are lots of footpaths in the area I haven't covered at all -- the stiles are a little too high to bunny-hop my MTB over. There are enough paths on Puttenham Common (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.2126&lon=-0.6957&zoom=14&layers=B0FT) alone to keep a couple of mappers busy for a day. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

Easter is so early this year that the Church of England lectionary has actually been caught short - were it not for a last-minute change one of the Sundays wouldn't actually have existed in the church calendar. When even the church is taken unawares by Easter there's something odd going on... cheers Richard ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

Easter is so early this year that most places are not starting the school holidays until a week or two after easter in order not to have one very short term and one very long term.

Re: [Talk-GB] [Party] Spring and summer UK countryside mapping parties
Nick The Southwest Surrey Mapping Party idea would work for me, but April 5/6 wouldn't. That's the start of school holidays so I'll probably be away at that time. 80n On Jan 4, 2008 10:58 AM, Nick Whitelegg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, it's that time of year again I guess where our thoughts turn > thoroughly > to the upcoming spring and summer, and I'd like to suggest a couple of UK > outdoors-orientated mapping parties. > > 1.

[Talk-GB] Spring and summer UK countryside mapping parties
Well, it's that time of year again I guess where our thoughts turn thoroughly to the upcoming spring and summer, and I'd like to suggest a couple of UK outdoors-orientated mapping parties. 1. The Southwest Surrey Mapping Party, or "Fill The Gap III" (following on from Richmond and East Hants). At the moment there exists a gap of about 10 miles between the SW London/Guildford well-mapped area and the Haslemere-Petersfield-Midhurst triangle (the original home of Freemap). I'd like to propose a mapping party to close that gap, pencilling in the weekend of April 5/6 (two weeks after Easter). Like the East Hants party this will be countryside orientated (foot/off-road bike/horse???), the aim is to try and complete as much of the footpath network along the Haslemere/Hindhead-Guildford axis as possible, but there will be scope for car drivers (e.g. Godalming, complete Haslemere). If this gap is filled we will have a swathe of good mapping stretching from London all the way down to the New Forest, almost 100 miles. 2. A mountain-area mapping party, following up to the Lake District party last July, I'd like to suggest a couple of options: * either return to the Lake District and cover the west side (Wasdale/Scafell Pike/Great Gable/Buttermere, etc - currently not mapped at all), * central Snowdonia. Some Snowdon paths are mapped but there's still plenty of gaps. Please let me know any preference (or other suggestions). This will be sometime between June 15-July 15, I want to avoid the school holidays as the Lake District was surprisingly (and pleasantly) quiet last year in early July so this seems to be a good time to go. More details when I know about work commitments. Nick ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
