Another odd thing I noticed when looking at the UK GPX image is the lack of Kintyre [1], which made the West Coast look a bit odd. The highlands may look a bit empty, but TBH, there's not much more there anyway (roadwise).

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.

As it happens I was offered in July some space on the west coast (search: Fairbourne). Basically one church converted from a shed and 2-4 single rooms in a nearby house. Assuming people don't want to share, there's still space for a couple of people to go over for a weekend or so. Let me know on that one. > PS How will we get Scotland finished?
