Hi Andy,

Indeed it is a potential fallback and no distance from Rosliston. The
actual centre and adjacent woods are very well mapped though.

Jerry,

 

A good place to meet and get excellent food is the Hub café at the Rosliston 
Forestry Centre. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/208252961 They are open daily 
from 10 till 4 during the winter months.

Dear All,

I'll shortly be sending a link to a Doodle poll to try & select a suitable time 
for a Midlands footpath mapping meeting after Christmas.

In all likelihood, the meeting will be centred on Coton-in-the-Elms in S. 
Derbyshire, a few miles S of Swadlincote and SE of Burton-on-Trent. The 
location is easily accessed from the A42 and A38.

This area is odd: many paths in woodland areas of the National Forest have been 
mapped in great detail, but there are still lots of missing footpaths as well 
as ones missing detail, particularly centred on Coton-in-the-Elms. Detail in 
the village is again very patchy: some shops and schools, but on a flying visit 
yesterday I added 4 pubs.

The main caveat about the area is that most of the pubs are either not open at 
lunchtime or don't do food. The one that does is perfectly pleasant, but seems 
to be under new management and has mixed reviews recently (Bulls Head 
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5266821772> , Rosliston); and unfortunately 
The Black Horse <http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5266509202>  in 
Coton-in-the-Elms which is in the Good Beer Guide only does filled cobs 
(sandwich rolls to those uninitiated in E. Mids dialect) and may not be open 
for lunch. So we'll probably have to take our chances with the former.

The geology is Mercia Mudstone, and much of it is arable, so likely to be muddy 
and claggy underfoot.

This umap 
<http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/prow-around-coton-in-the-elms_184957>  
shows the status of footpath mapping in the area in August. I'll update it 
shortly & add Warwickshire & Staffordshire paths (extracted from my EMids PRoW 
data).

Hello Phil,


OK - thanks, that would be great.

It will be Bunbury (near Tarporley).


It's not 100% but I could quite possibly do Thurs 28 or maybe Fri 29.

In all likelihood, the meeting will be centred on Coton-in-the-Elms in S.
Derbyshire, a few miles S of Swadlincote and SE of Burton-on-Trent. The

This area is odd: many paths in woodland areas of the National Forest have

as well as ones missing detail, particularly centred on Coton-in-the-Elms.
Detail in the village is again very patchy: some shops and schools, but on
a flying visit yesterday I added 4 pubs.

The main caveat about the area is that most of the pubs are either not open
at lunchtime or don't do food. The one that does is perfectly pleasant, but
seems to be under new management and has mixed reviews recently (Bulls Head

unfortunately The Black Horse 
in Coton-in-the-Elms which is in the Good Beer Guide only does filled cobs
