How about systematically covering the UK, starting at Lands End and
working East and North, either by drawing a line that runs North  
West /

South East that shows the extent of mapped area, or by mapping all the
counties along the south coast: Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire,  
West

Sussex, East Sussex, Kent, then working North. Either way we'll reach
Scotland eventually :-)


Nah Start with all the little islands in the north and head south ;-)

P.S. At the last check a month or two back Shetland still didn't have  
any coastline.

Hi,

 coastline.

That's because I gave up after Orkney and about half the Outer
Hebrides.

Anyone can map the UK, apparently there are 10 companies currently  
mapping London (I know one, how many can you think of?), but to quote  
Vanessa Lawrence 'who wants to map Monmouthshire?' Open StreetMap  
maybe?

(And Fake Ed says you can herd Vanessa's cats...)

 Hi,

I would go on talk-de but I wouldn't understand anything :-(

 PS How will we get Scotland finished?

 a.

 During the German summer holidays, set up a booth at the Newcastle
 ferry terminal and issue a GPS to each of them pouring out of the
 ferry and heading North ;-)

 b.

 Hold SOTM '08 at Inverness.

That's actually a serious issue (mapping during SOTM) but I think  
approximately 0 mapping was done in Manchester?

If SOTM is going to be just a weekend event, then there is no time for
mapping. Maybe you could do a mapping party in an area on Saturday /
Sunday, then SOTM Mon-Wed, and some people could stay for the whole
period, but if SOTM follows the model established in Manchester, I don't
think mapping is practical.

I would be interested in a North Wales mapping party as I have relatives
~ who I could stay with.

For accommodation the riding centre where I used to work has some great 
facilities. Only thing is location could make things more difficult for 
those without cars. £15/night, I think is the cost now.
