One month to go to the Basildon Mapping Party! I've meant to do this for some time, and have now made plans to move away from the area, so it's now or never. The 26-27th September looks clear in the OSM diary.
Basildon is one major cause of Essex looking a bit short in the Completeness Map, with much residential road & hardly any of it done. I creep over & do a corner when I can, which isn't often at present. Road & rail access is good, and NCN13 passes through some of the town's many parks to the west. The Holiday Inn is near the meeting venue as is Premier Inn, should anyone need accommodation. I've picked a pub north of centre because it is near free parking & I think it has WiFi - I haven't checked recently though. There is a slight risk of Morris Dancing. In general this is a pleasant new town, though a bit bland & some of the housing is, well, rough. I have always liked Google's attempt at one of the local parks.
