Grangemouth outline complete

Posted by Clarinet2 on 7 June 2009 in English.

Completed the outline of Grangemouth last night.

Over a few weeks, I have added the significant roads and a couple of motorway links to the bare roads already present and went on to add the river and burn and docks water. Last night, I had enough information to add the railway completing the framework.

Just need to go an fill in the areas of the framework now.

Howe of the Mearns Audax

Another audax run out of Forfar on a nice day.

Good few roads added North-East of Forfar.

Added Laurencekirk Station which I understand has just reopened after about 40 years.

The really slow section of the track was the time I spent following a flock of sheep being herded down the road.

Location: Forfar, Angus, Scotland, United Kingdom

Glen Isla Audax

Posted by Clarinet2 on 1 May 2009 in English.

Just uploaded the trace and added some missing roads to the West of Forfar from the Glen Isla Audax that I was out on at the weekend.

Unfortunately, my GPS stopped working for about 15 minutes but did get it restarted. Will need to keep eye on unit. Used an old lower quality track to fill in the gap.

Location: Middleton, Milton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, G82 2SG, United Kingdom

Bike ride in Cumbernauld

Posted by Clarinet2 on 1 April 2009 in English. Last updated on 3 April 2009.

Had a couple of hours spare in Cumbernauld on Monday night waiting for the kids so rode round on the bike.
Main parts added to map are the Eastfield Road roundabouts and Balloch Loop Road.

The results from the road sign photos at night are great. Wait for no traffic (don't want to distract anyone), roadsign reflects flash and gives very clear image. Tried photos of a couple of junctions to remind myself. Waste of time, almost total darkness.
