If it rains we stay out for less time, I guess, I'll have enough source 
material to keep us busy for a while from the bus ride to Mechelen 
alone. What I do, when it rains or it's too cold to go out on the 
bicycle is to take a bus I didn't take before and map what I can see. Of 
course, visibility is not very good from a bus when it rains, so it's 
not ideal. But even the bus route in itself is interesting to add to OSM 
as a relation.


So let's keep our fingers crossed. It's the only thing we can't really 
plan for.
