Thanks - I'm looking forward to it.

Midlands "Mappa Mercia" group put event email out to talk-gb.

Please see details below.

Re: [Talk-GB] Adjacent nature reserves

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi Martin,

I echo Gareth, Mateusz and Warin's view that this should have stayed mapped
as separate nature reserves. The previous areas would have (hopefully)
marked the legal boundary of the individual nature reserves - something
which we have now lost. I see for example that the area you have now marked
as Burlish Top Nature Reserve is much smaller than it used to be.

Old:
https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=71023754

New:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/506211512

I'm also finding it very difficult to see what you are changing as you have
created so many changesets and they all have the same description (
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Martin%20Wynne/history#map=13/52.3652/-2.2799).
Would it please be possible to create fewer changesets and/or provide more
detailed changeset comments.

You may wish to ask Andy to help with reverting this as he will have plenty
of experience from his role in the Data Working Group. The fact that it is
over many changesets makes it too challenging for me.

Best regards,
*Rob*

Re: [Talk-GB] Adjacent nature reserves

[Martin Wynne]

Thanks for the comments.

There are in fact 3 adjacent nature reserves with different names and 
ownerships.


It's possible to see the property boundaries on old maps, but after 
visiting the site again yesterday I can find little remaining physical 
evidence of the boundaries, with many footpaths crossing between them.


The web sites refer to them being seamlessly linked together with 
connecting footpaths.


So I have changed the OSM mapping to show a single nature reserve, with 
the individual reserve names applied to the land parcels within it:


 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.3647/-2.2802

This seems a better way of showing what is actually on the ground for 
visitors.
