Back homeWell, that's this years trip abroad done. Back home, I find that Wat Tyler Country park will bear some trips out with the dogs - we split the party last week & I left the GPS with the girls, to get the miniature railway mapped.
Of course, the dogs & I proceeded to get thoroughly lost on the footpaths...
We'll be back! Probably this weekend. Anyone mapping in Basildon?

Botswana
Having driven most of the country now, I find fuel stations are a major consideration - due to being infrequent... Many added.
I've outlined a lot of Gaborone, and done a little detail round the block we're visiting.
A number of extant roads are tagged "interestingly" eg dirt tracks as secondary. If I've tagged it above unclassified it's a proper road!

Editing foreign parts
Gaborone, Botswana - a capital city with 2 roads - until this week :]
I'm not going to get it all done, but it's a decent start - just batting about the place shopping & having tea seems to be getting a fair crack at it. The residential roads are not like home; it's all numbered blocks with guards on gates so I can only do one block, but the connecting roads are fair game - -have decided to mark them at the residential level as the inner zones are very small, but I wonder if named unclassified is nearer correct?

GPS
String vanished off my GPS today, complete with little holder bar. Does this count as a mapping accident? As I don't know how / when it happened, I guess not..

September
Got my CBT & a motorbike :)
Bought Garmin mount for same...
Did a bit round Heathrow this week, got there a bit early to meet a plane, good way to pass 1/2 hour (as opposed to paying Heathrow car-park fees!) Left paper with streetnames out, cleaner threw it as clearly rubbish :(

Diary
Oh look, a diary! Found 22/8/07.
Currently holiday-mapping on IOW but without the geo-hounds (who are on guard at home).
