Hi,

Is anyone interested in creating a really detailed map of the area to be 
destroyed by the Heathrow extension. The area (the villages of 
Harlington Sipson and Harmondsworth: 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.4807&lon=-0.4559&zoom=14&layers=0B00FTTT 
)

is basically mapped, but there is quite a lot of detail missing: the 
tracks through Harmondsworth Moor (the old Accomodation Lane), the 
refugee detention centre, the tithe barn in Harmondsworth, the 
Greenpeace owned land in Sipson, according to news reports 100 listed 
buildings, various bits of industrial use, etc.

I will carry on with it but it's a longish cycle ride for me to get 
there, so if there are others around interested it might get done quicker.

(please DON'T use yahoo or google maps to speed it up - the area has a 
lot of gravel extraction pits which move round quite quickly - they get 
refilled for farming use - and none of the aerial photos I've seen are 
up to date with the current positions)

Graham
