Hi,

as mentioned 2 weeks ago, I would like to help OpenStreetmap Belgium
in the region of Turnhout.
It's still a big blind spot sadly enough although it is quite a big city.
I don't have any logger for the moment (except my car) so that's a bit
difficult.

Btw, maybe we can throw a logging party in Turnhout this summer?

Anyway, to be honest I haven't done anything yet, and I don't know how
much time I have or how much time it takes to log decent.
But I do would like to make an effort this summer.
And having a logger for some time, can help me decide what I need when
I want to buy one.

But if necessary I could also come pick it up in the evening.

If the distance is reasonable, no problem.
