This is really cool Peter, and thanks for working to expand the
community! If we were to get even just one or two Sustrans rangers who
are as enthusiastic as Gregory Williams (have a look at Kent for those
who want to see his work) then we'll be done in no time.

I've also been talking with a couple of other cycle campaigns who are
interested in using the cycle tiles to replace their google tiles with
OSM tiles (whether mine or other custom ones). Unfortunately I don't
know much about either the Google API or how feature-complete
Openlayers etc are (I do mapping, and tiles, but none of this fancy
javascript stuff!). If anyone is looking for a weekend project,
putting together a howto aimed at a small website wanting to do the
migration would be great. For example, they might have 20 push-pins
and 15 routes drawn over their Google Map -  how would they do the
same with an OSM-based stack?

Cheers,
Andy
