Re: [Talk-GB] 3rd Midlands OSM New Year Meetup

[SK53]

I'll do my best to get along.

These paths have not only been well surveyed over past 7 years, but they
are short. I can probably describe each of these routes across the railway
to a very fine level of detail. For instance there is a fine hedge of Holly
along the east side of the path north of Barratt Lane  no 1 crossing. A
great place for Holly Blue butterflies in the Spring.

Defending the Attenborough crossings will undoubtedly generate a great
campaigning team. I'm already in touch with members of the reserve
management committee and Beeston Wildlife Group (there is a distinct
overlap).

Footpaths in the countryside often don't gave such defenders, getting them
mapped & problems reported is a very worthwhile OSM activity. In some parts
of the country highway authorities don't even meet the bare minimum of
their statutory duties for rights of way. (I'm still awaiting a response
from Kent about a blocked path I reported months ago).

Cheers,

Jerry

Because it'd be dark? :)

There's no reason why a bunch of OSMers couldn't turn up on that evening 
_as well_, of course...

[Based on developments today], Why not hold it at the Bluebell in
Attenborough on the evening of Wednesday, 8 January 2016[1].  There
are several rights of way across the Midland Main Line in the vicinity
in Attenborough:

  
http://overpass-api.de/api/convert?data=node[%22railway%22~%22crossing%22]%2852.85,-1.26,52.92,-1.2%29;out;=openlayers=14=52.9=-1.23

These road/foot/bridalway level crossings are the first 7 level
crossing (previously 9) after leaving London (200 km).  All are
concentrated in Attenborough between Trent Junction and Beeston.

-Paul

[1] Verbal confirmation that a public consultation has been scheduled
for 8 January 2016 15:00-19:30(?) in Attenborough Village Hall.  It
would be very useful to have each of the level crossings re-surveyed
and micro-mapped as ground-truth basemaps of the status-quo.

Just a quick note to say provisional details are:

I'm keeping this provisional just in case location is an issue for West 
Midlanders. Let me know if location this is the case.

 

Do come along if you can!

I'm suggesting two locations for now. My personal preference is for the
