Royston (south)Completed Royston, Hertfordshire today with the central area and the housing estates off London Road, Barkway Road and south of Newmarket Road. It was a gorgeous day for cycling, but quite tough as well, as this part of Royston climbs as you leave the town centre. This means that every time I left a housing estate spine road, dead end spurs go steeply down or up so I was continually and unavoidably gaining height and and losing it again straight away. Nevertheless, 3.5 hours was enough to finish off the town.
The inability to get Landsat data in JOSM is hampering me somewhat with getting good outlines for some of the extensive woodlands on the south eastern edge of town and the southern edge of Therfield Heath to the west of the town. I've guessed for now.
There's still some surveyed streets awaiting upload by Daniel in the north-east, north of the railway.

Nice work! The area is running out of places still to do, although I've got Witchford, Little Downham, Sutton, Mepal and of course Soham (which just seems to be eluding me at the moment) on my mental to-do list. However I was having a look around the rest of the country to get a feel for how complete we are - it was unfortunately a rather depressing experience.
