Re: [Talk-GB] Trans Pennine Trail
Hi Chris, Thanks for this posting. I just personally discovered the TPT in September and hope to ride some more at Christmas as it passes not too far from the Centre of the Known and Unknown Universe [1]. I am not familiar with NCN 62 but agree with you that we treat the TPT and NCN routes as entirely different, ie NCN 62 should have one relation and TPT another (new one). The TPT website suggests it is a mix of walking, horse and foot right of ways and indeed I found a point [2] near Hemingbourgh on the River Ouse where the NCN 65 and TPT-for-cyclists heads north to the village but TPT for hikers is signposted as continuing west along the river bank.

Much of the ways already exist in OSM because it uses NCN routes much of the way. South of Manchester there is the NCN 62 which has a name=Trans Pennine Trail [2]. This may be part of the TPT, but is not the whole route at all. I would like to remove that name from the NCN 62 relation, create a new relation for the TPT and add the parts I know about, mostly in East Yorkshire. If someone can confirm that the NCN 62 is also part of the TPT I will add that to the new relation also to not lose the info for that route. Anyone got any better ideas, objections or comments? Can anyone confirm NCN 62 or part of it belongs in the TPT relation? I also intend to create a relation for the Way of the Roses, which similarly uses parts of various NCN routes along its route, so if you want to add any other parts I don't know about please do. I heartily recommend the section over the Yorkshire Wolds as a lovely place to be.

Re: [Talk-GB] 1:25,000 OOC OS maps - Update
Just catching up so a late posting. Thanks to Andy and Mike for this. Even with Bing imagery and OS OpenData, the 1:25k series are a great source of local names in rural areas and of historic features, (archeological sites, tumuli, stone rings, battle fields, roman roads, old mining sites and more) for a historical map of the UK that is slowly evolving thanks to Graham Jones. My personal wish-list to see soon: anything up the northern Pennines and Yorkshire, Durham mining areas.

I'd got to around a third of the set of 2027 sheets before the summer. As a result of a very generous donation from the University of Glasgow (Thanks go to Mike Shand) I now have 66% of the full set. In addition I have many different sheet editions for the north of the country and Scotland and a great many duplicates, some of which will be sold to help raise funds to secure the remaining 1/3rd of the set that are still needed for full coverage. I've now finished cataloguing the provisional series maps from Glasgow, over 1850 sheets in all, and you can find the updated table and graphical chart showing coverage from the links at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Provisional/First_Edition The next job will be to restart rectification and tiling to enable their use in the OSM editing tools and other purposes. Because of the sudden influx I'm looking at possibilities of scanning off site and distributing the rectification process, all suggestions and offers on that would be most appreciated. Ping me if you have any questions or have an area of coverage you would particularly like to see available soon.

Re: [Talk-GB] 1:25,000 OOC OS maps - Update
I'd like to organise a "scanning party". One weekend soon. Need to raise about £200ish to rent the large scanner and then with a few others to create a good workflow spend a couple of days one weekend scanning all the sheets. If anyone is interested in helping let me know and I'll propose some dates. After that my plan would be to get the scans up on the OSM dev box and have someone help with a little extra code to help with the rectification process. This should help speed everything up.

Re: [Talk-GB] [SPAM: 3.000] Re: 1:25,000 OOC OS maps - Update
Andy I reckon I could be up for that, possibly coming up for a day rather than weekend, to help. You can also count on a contribution towards scanner hire from me.
