[Talk-GB] Corrections for Ewelme, Oxfordshire

[Dave F]

Hi Ewelme resident.

OpenStreetMap is a public crowdsourced venture, where people often start 
adding data to the map for the area which is local to them.

With your 43 years of knowledge you make the ideal person to improve the 
map for Ewelme & it's surrounds.

It's easy to get going, just follow the Walkthrough feature under the 
Help icon on the right hand side:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id#map=16/51.6194/-1.0710

Please feel free to join in.
