Good to be mapping again

The summer has been so busy with lots of OSM and other stuff that there has been precious little time for solid mapping sessions. Anyway, yesterday I managed to get out for a 50km ride and knocked off another block of Birmingham. Most of Handsworth is now complete at last. Great to be out early on a Sunday morning watching the world wake up and go by.

Pretty impressive addition! How long did it take, out of interest?

I normally go out for a morning. The 50km ride was only 30km of mapping because its now 10km each way to reach unmapped territory! So generally I'm starting to get tired, hungry or need a break after about 3 hours of mapping. So with the travel at each end its normally a 4 hour stint. Following that it takes me about a further 3 hours to do the editing (1 hour editing for every hour on the bike).
