[Talk-GB] PROPOSAL - Hampshire footpaths fill the gap party

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello everyone,

In the past two weeks or so, due to mapping by myself and (I guess) Andy 
Street, the gap in footpath mapping between the Southampton and 
Petersfield/Midhurst areas is starting to close. Therefore, given that I've 
got plans to go out into that area again in the next few weeks, there's a 
real possibility that - with help - the gap could be completely closed, 
offering the possibility of a near-continuous swathe of footpath mapping 
stretching 50-odd miles from the New Forest in the southwest to the Haslemere 
area in the northeast.

However I'd need help to do this. So what I propose is a mapping weekend - 
sometime before the end of October - to fill the gap, focusing on the upper 
Meon Valley area. This would be geared primarily at walkers (but there are a 
few bridleways for off road cyclists) but it could possibly offer a 
breakthrough in countryside mapping in OSM and promote the use of Freemap and 
OSM for walkers.

So please let me know if you're interested with preferred dates. I can 
basically do any weekend in the period except those of September 1/2, and 
October 14/15 (proposed Winchester party).

Nick
