I would like to announce that the fine city of Kingston Upon Hull (Hull to its friends and 'Ull to its locals) has all its public roads and many of its amenities completed. Almost all of the city was mapped by Jean and me by driving or walking around it. We have taken about 10,000 photos (my camera rolled its number over about a month ago) and visited every single public road in the city. We've added schools, cemeteries, pubs, allotments, parks and some shops all by visiting them with a GPS and camera - the Y! images are only lo-res and have been useful only for large scale stuff like some railways, waterways and the docks.
We have seen the city in a new light - some of it is run down, but much of it is doing very nicely. I have enjoyed the experience greatly (though some housing estates have been a bore) and now I look forward to helping complete the East Riding of Yorkshire next year.
