Nick<br>The Southwest Surrey Mapping Party idea would work for me, but April 5/6 wouldn't. That's the start of school holidays so I'll probably be away at that time.<br><br>80n<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>Well, it's that time of year again I guess where our thoughts turn thoroughly<br>to the upcoming spring and summer, and I'd like to suggest a couple of UK<br>outdoors-orientated mapping parties.<br><br>1. The Southwest Surrey Mapping Party, or "Fill The Gap III" (following on
<br>from Richmond and East Hants). At the moment there exists a gap of about 10<br>miles between the SW London/Guildford well-mapped area and the<br>Haslemere-Petersfield-Midhurst triangle (the original home of Freemap). I'd
<br>like to propose a mapping party to close that gap, pencilling in the weekend<br>of April 5/6 (two weeks after Easter). Like the East Hants party this will be<br>countryside orientated (foot/off-road bike/horse???), the aim is to try and
<br>complete as much of the footpath network along the<br>Haslemere/Hindhead-Guildford axis as possible, but there will be scope for<br>car drivers (e.g. Godalming, complete Haslemere). If this gap is filled we<br>will have a swathe of good mapping stretching from London all the way down to
<br>the New Forest, almost 100 miles.<br><br>2. A mountain-area mapping party, following up to the Lake District party last<br>July, I'd like to suggest a couple of options:<br><br>* either return to the Lake District and cover the west side (Wasdale/Scafell
<br>Pike/Great Gable/Buttermere, etc - currently not mapped at all),<br>* central Snowdonia. Some Snowdon paths are mapped but there's still plenty of<br>gaps.<br><br>Please let me know any preference (or other suggestions). This will be
<br>sometime between June 15-July 15, I want to avoid the school holidays as the<br>Lake District was surprisingly (and pleasantly) quiet last year in early July<br>so this seems to be a good time to go. More details when I know about work
