Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Post-Christmas Midlands OSM Meet-up
Hi all, I've finally found some time to catch up with this thread. :-) * Mapping event Sat 3rd Jan - yes I'll be there, and will map some footpaths. * Lifts - yes If you want a lift from the Warwick/Coventry area (or a train station that my route will take me past) then let me know. * I've also added some more details to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nottingham/Mapping_Meetup See you soon, Rob p.s. If you're planning to come please let us know :-) On 24 December 2014 at 12:55, SK53 sk53@gmail.com wrote: Thanks everyone for such a good response to the Doodle Poll. A couple of late entries persuaded me to choose Saturday 3rd January for the event as that allows all who could attend to make it. I have chosen the area around Hanbury and Draycott in the Clay which is to the west of Burton-on-Trent. There are a good number of completely unmapped footpaths between these two locations, and a number of pubs. Of particular interest is the Fauld Crater https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Fauld_explosion which can be reached from a path starting at the Cock Inn, Hanbury Hill. Meet at 10:30 in the car park of the Cock Inn http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/77045831 . Roughly I plan a walk to look at the crater followed by mapping the footpaths between Hanbury Draycott. We may be able to split up to maximise the number of these we can get in the time available. Aim is to return to the Cock between 12:30 and 13:00 for a drink and/or lunch. Lifts may be available from me (Derby, Nottingham area), and Rob (Coventry, Warwick), and we can arrange a pick-up from Burton Station too. I'll also put this information in the wiki. I look forward to meeting everyone in the New Year, Jerry Clough PS. I anyone has an OSM banner or similar do bring it along, it would be nice in a group photo. ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

I am also hoping to attend.

Obviously we can potentially knock more of these on the head if we split-up, but then we can't map chat. One benefit of mappers from different places is the chance to share perspectives on how, what etc. one maps. So I'd like to suggest everyone meets at the rendezvous, and that at least the first short walk is done as a group. Sounds good. It will be interesting to see this crater near the pub. Depending on the number of people we can probably split into 2 or 3 groups afterwards (and then catch up again in the pub). Also if anyone wants to do some mapping from home before we head out there's quite a bit to be done aligning roads, mapping landuse and/or tracing buildings. Rob Regards, Jerry PS. There is also a good opportunity to clarify if mapped paths which dont have the designation tag are rights of way. I'll try and produce a file of nodes where PRoWs end up on roads, for checking. ___ Talk-GB mailing list talk...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands
