There was an interesting segment in tonight's Mountain tv program
(BBC1, 9PM), which might be of interest to OSM mappers.

Chris Jesty was profiled, who has been revising the Lake District
books (and maps) by Alfred Wainwright. Interestingly, he uses up to
three GPS devices, and was once an OS surveyor.

Wonder if he can be persuaded to open source his mappings...
