[OSM-talk] Lake District mapping event II

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello everyone,

Following a weekend I spent up there with the family just now (too wet, 
windy and icy to do high level walks sadly, but I mapped some valley 
footpaths meaning the Langdale area is pretty complete now) I'd like to 
propose another summer outdoors mapping event, returning to the Lake 
District following last year's successful event.
I propose moving west to the Borrowdale/Buttermere area this year, to 
cover an area still not present on OSM, including the well known peaks of 
Great Gable, Pillar, High Stile and Haystacks and the surrounding valley 
areas. This is on a bus route to Keswick allowing possible coverage of 
that area too. This area together with last year's 
Grasmere-Ambleside-Langdale focus will mean that the most popular core 
areas of the Lakes will have very good coverage. 
I'd propose any time June 15th to July 10th - any earlier than that I 
(Nick W) will be unavailable, and any later will be peak holiday season so 
expensive, crowded and hard to get accommodation. An alternative time 
would be late September, though my own preferences would be for early 
summer.
 I'd like to hold it well away from the proposed Wales event so people 
hopefully can attend both. Steve - any ideas when this might be?
As soon as I know my exact work commitments (these are unknown at this 
stage) I will decide on an exact week. (like last year it'll be a 
weekend/week event so people can either come for the weekend or stay the 
whole week). This *may* be the first week in July if things are as they 
were last year, but no guarantees. 

Nick
