[Talk-GB] 10th Anniversary Rutland Mapping Party

[SK 53 (via Doodle)]

Hi there,

SK 53 (sk53@gmail.com) invites you to participate in the Doodle
poll "10th Anniversary Rutland Mapping Party."

See earlier emails to talk-gb@openstreetmap.org
  
  Very early draft
page on wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Rutland_England/2016_%2810th_Anniversary%29_Rutland_Mapping_Party
Weekend mapping forming a reprise of the 2006 Rutland Mapping Party.
Obvious targets might be: footpaths, new housing, addresses, mapillary
sequences. I'm sure there is plenty more, and lots surveyed in 2006
which can be mapped better now. 
  
  But its also an opportunity to
get together socially in nice part of UK.

Re: [Talk-GB] 10th Anniversary Rutland Mapping Party?

[SK53]

I would think late Spring/early Summer are suitable times (after university
exams).

I think many people camped at Oakham last time around, so warmer months
with longer daylight seem sensible for that reason as well. There are B&Bs
and a limited number of cheaper hotels (a Travelodge near Uppingham, a
Premier Inn at Melton and, just possibly, a new budget hotel in Oakham).

My rough idea would be:

   - Week before: MapCraft or Tasking Manager armchair mapping (buildings,
   woods, hedgerows etc)
   - Friday afternoon: footpath mapping (for those interested)
   - Friday evening: social get together
   - Saturday: mainly mapping outside the towns: details of villages,
   footpaths.
   - Sunday: more villages, but a focus on getting Oakham & Uppingham done

It would be nice if we could link up with local people in some villages on
the Saturday to get more local context; and perhaps some kind of public
event in either Oakham or Uppingham.

General targets might include:

   - Details of PRoW (stiles, gates etc are missing on many in the county)
   - Listed buildings (many churches don't even have a religion tag)
   - New developments, notably Oakham Heights 1100 new houses being built
   on the old Agricultural Showground at Oakham
   - Countryside detail: hedges, streams, woods etc.
   - Addresses in Oakham & Uppingham
   - Mapillary sequences, particularly of footpaths & country roads.
   - Disabled & wheelchair access for pubs (do we need an excuse?)

But, critically what Rutland needs most of all is comprehensive revision.
Adjacent areas of Leicestershire & Lincs may be usefully covered as well.

Last time I think people used the Rutland County Library as a base. Other
possibilities might be feasible (County Museum, one of the private
schools).

Andy & RIchard generated a fair amount of media interest 10 years ago, so
this is also something we should aim to emulate.

I'll start a page on the wiki shortly, and perhaps will do a doodle poll to
assess which weekend is most suitable.

Cheers,

Jerry

Yes, it's been a number of years! Think the last one was Wales wasn't it in 
2008... which I missed due to being on holiday.
Would be really good to have another but definitely (as I said before) in the 
lighter months of the year.

It would be great to have another significant out-and-about UK mapping party, 
I'd be up for it.

I'm up for either, travel costs to Rutland are obviously lower for most people. 
Isle of Wight ferries are quite costly.

[Dudley Ibbett]

Spring next year would be my preference.   Realistically I would only be able 
to make Rutland.  If it does go ahead I wonder if we could use the Hot Tasking 
manager and Mapillary.  Neither were presumably available in 2006.  I guess 
there would be other tools we could use to highlight which footpaths need 
adding for planning etc.

Well IoW is obviously easier for me but a) I suspect I'm in a minority there 
and b) to be quite honest it "looks" pretty much complete from the POV of ROWs.



Rutland would also be somewhere new for me so would be potentially interested. 
However my preference would be not to have it in October (when the original 
party happened) due to work commitments, but instead some time between Apr-Sep 
inclusive, which has the
 advantage of more daylight.

[Andy Townsend]

  I've done rural bits and pieces in Rutland on and off over the years* and would certainly be up for more mapping there. The tricky bit I suspect might be finding a mutually acceptable weekend before the clocks go back, though even afterwards some sort of combination of "rural stuff during the day, town/village pois at night" may work.Cheers,Andy* I had a look at Rutland in ITO's OSM Mapper and, apart from a couple of locals it's very much a case of "the usual suspects"!

[Talk-GB] 10th Anniversary Rutland Mapping Party?

[SK53]

I'm just back from my annual trip to the Rutland Bird Fair.

Each time I'm struck by the fact that Rutland still needs a lot of ground
survey work for OSM. Oakham for instance has a prodigious number of new
houses, the PRoW network is pretty incomplete, and there are lots of other
details missing in villages.

Next year will be 10 years since the big Rutland Mapping Party
.
Might it be fun to reprise it and make Rutland best mapped countryside in
UK?
