In the past is has been seriously suggested (and possibly done) that council boundaries be mapped by looking at the name on the bins. I think I might have even photographed one or two bins to get house numbers that I couldn't see on the last house. Anyway, have you all forgotten this wiki page that was previously used? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Mapping_Priorities Oh, or is it because your trying to look at larger areas? It details a scoring system. I used this to create a list of places I could go to in a day as I start getting bored/done of Durham. Darlington is still on the top of the UK list. It's only about £5/20min train journey when I'm back to living in Durham (probably end of September). Other locations on your map in the area are a bit tricky for me to get to, but I'd probably be thinking about them anyway at some point. I'd like to live in the North East side of Durham for enjoyable mapping trips. -- Gregory http://www.livingwithdragons.com
