When you're mapping the Isle of Wight, Manchester or Bath, how do 
you get an Internet connection, and how much do you depend on it? 
If you can't get online (which could be hard in remote areas), do 
you swap tracklogs between users and view them offline in JOSM 
during the weekend?  Or do you divide the area in advance, so 
everybody knows exactly which parts of a town to cover, and then 
everybody goes home to upload and process their tracklogs?

Did you combine these excursions with taking photos for and 
georeferencing Wikipedia articles about the area?  There's a 
special WikiProject on the English Wikipedia for U.K. geography,
that I suppose you could collaborate with,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_geography

I'm almost about to suggest a meeting in Växjö, southern Sweden, 
on September 22-24.  But I'm not sure how much I need to prepare. 
Växjö is the nearest bigger town to me that is not yet mapped.
