Completed my first piece of proper GPS road mapping with the tiny village of Papworth St Agnes, one of a small handful on the todo list for South Cambs. Very pretty, though only two roads to map, plus phonebox, postbox, church and the start of a few footpaths.
Just down the road, one missing street needed to be added to nearby Graveley, which now looks road-complete to me. There's a network of tracks to the south-west of the village on the former airfield which I didn't explore. These are car-accessible but signposted as private. Suitably some people were flying a remote-controlled plane there today.

Well done; I'd been meaning to take a look at the village but hadn't got round to it due to various distractions. Any idea if "Toseland" (SW-ish of there) is a real village or just a named locality? Thanks for stubbing out the footpaths / bridleways; having stubs makes it much easier to see where further mapping is needed.
Did you know they have a good website for Papworth St Agnes? http://www.papworthstagnes.org.uk/
There is a little historical geographical info that could maybe be a little useful (esp under appropriate copyright, if they were agreeable) on there.
In a related vein, I was thinking of e-mailing the website contact for Eltisley to just say "Hey, you're on our map!" - had you considered doing that for PSA?
Anyhow, nice work. Cambridgeshire is getting to be amazingly well mapped.
Cheers,
Mark
