I'd probably take part, again if the starting point is on the rail network (Boston is).
Boston is 55,000+ people. So that's 55 person hours of on the ground surveying, so quite a challenge for a weekend if you want to do rural roads too, unless there's a big crowd of volunteers. Spalding is a 22,000 and is also on the railway. It's 15 miles from Boston, with quite a dense network of rural roads and villages west of the A16 between Boston and Spalding.
