New mapper

Posted by James Pain on 29 November 2008 in English.

Greetings people,

I'm a college student in Colchester, Essex. I found this site on TechCrunch and I'm very eager to map what I can.

I've just done the majority of my estate and quite enjoyed it so I'm sure to be doing alot more.

I love all freedom of speech projects but especially this one since I can really contribute (willingly) and sometime in the future use the data somehow.

Anyway, just saying what I have to say.
(And here comes the inevitable cheesy newbie finishing line)

Happy Mapping,
James Pain
