Andrew Chadwick's diary
Further mapping down towards WallingfordDay out in Wallingford with the family, who are visiting Oxford this week. I've improved the map of the town's mediaeval centre a bit - hope I've got the one-way system right - and found some unmapped tracts of land on the way there and back.
- Previously unmapped restricted byway between Drayton St Leonard and Chiselhampton. highway=byway sounds quaint. Renders oddly in Osmarender.
- Two new villages: Newington and Warborough.
- Innumerable churches and pubs.
- Connected the River Thame using OAM and NPE data. Not sure about the direction of flow though.

Oh, the old stomping ground..... Don't forget the Hamlet of Mongewell ;-)
Cheers.

Great stuff. The Thame flows downhill into the Thames... it's that whole gravity thing again. :)
/me tags it as boat=yes as far as Dorchester Bridge.

Comments! People read these things?
If someone who knows the area better could figure out the status of the A329 North and South of Wallingford, I'd be much obliged. If you believe the OSM data, it turns from a highway=tertiary into a highway=primary by passing through the middle of a small town with a torturous one-way system and 4-minute-cycle traffic lights on all approaches. Unconvinced...

Duly fixed! The A329 doesn't go through Wallingford anywhere - that's why there's a bypass.
