[Talk-GB] Lorries can't limbo

Saw this and thought it might suit a small virtual project - to 
check/add bridge heights from mapillary images or similar might be useful.


And maybe network rail have a longer list / more info?

Cheers,
Neil

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Thimblemill Brook, Warley

[Stephen Holt via Talk-gb-westmidlands]

Hi Andy 

Although I haven’t any detailed on-the-ground local knowledge it looks to me 
that the watershed is closer to Pottery Road rather than Hurst Road so the 
section in between these roads is correctly labelled but may be flowing the 
wrong way. The section labelled Thimblemill further west, beyond the 
Wolverhampton Road, perhaps shouldn’t be so labelled at all - it doesn’t appear 
to be named on old OS maps I have seen.

Hope this helps

Stephen

[Talk-GB] Geo Hack Weekend 28-29 Nov

[Jez Nicholson]

In a couple of weeks time the Code The City group from Aberdeen are holding
an online hack weekend with particular focus on OpenStreetMap
https://codethecity.org/what-we-do/hack-weekends/code-the-city-21-put-your-city-on-the-map/

It's an old-fashioned, low-pressure, friendly, do-what-you-like hack
weekend. If you like to build things, or try out a bit of software, or want
to survey something different, or help someone out, then do come
alongthere are no rules, you don't even have to build software, it's a
great excuse to do *anything* new. Bonus points (notional, not actual) for
anything in Aberdeen.

I am helping to provide a list of potential resources and some project
ideas (links are in that web page about the event). Send me any suggestions.
