Bradford Mapping Party

Hi,

A couple of us have been talking about running another Open Street Map mini mapping party in December or January near Bradford, possibly inbetween Christmas and New Year as a chance to walk off that Christmas excess (and maybe get away from the family).

The best options I can see are:

* Worth Valley, specifically getting the Worth Way walk mapped and a
CC-licensed guide and map produced. We could do it out of the Computer
Gentle training room in Keighley, it would have a clearly defined goal and it's mostly through pretty nice countryside and villages.

* Bradford city centre, whilst it looks fairly well mapped there are still
some Open Street Bugs, there are lots of missing one-way and turn
restrictions, and other things to fix. We might be able to host this at
the University but wouldn't have internet access for non students/staff.

* Bradford outskirts, looking at zoom level 10 on the map you can see
where is built up but not mapped.

* Making a concerted effort to get the Sustrans routes of Yorkshire
"finished". This would be a very different event to any of the above, all
of the central organising work would have to be done online, but it would
be pretty awesome to see the few remaining bits finished. It'd also be a
nice chance for people to try out their new bikes they got for Christmas.

Anyway, those are my ideas. What are you most interested in completing and when?
