Baker Street/Regents Park Mapping Party
This evening there will be a mapping party in the Baker Street/Regents Park area of London. I wonder if we will beat last week’s record 15 people at the Euston mapping party. Maybe we will even get a local paper publishing a small article about the event, like the Croydon Advertiser and the Croydon Guardian… Continue reading Baker Street/Regents Park Mapping Party
Back to the Start
The main aim of the next 3 mapping parties will be to enter points of interest, fix fixmes, and verify that the current data is correct, near to where OpenStreetMap originally started 4 years ago. Tomorrow is the 18th Mapping party of the London Mapping Marathon. It will be held around Euston Station, meeting up… Continue reading Back to the Start
Dragheda Mapping Party Review
Last weekend (22-25 August) I went over to Dublin for the Dragheda Mapping Party. I took the train and ferry over, instead of flying, so that I could take my bike. I did get some coding and catching up done on the train and ferry. I found it interesting that Virgin Trains run electric to… Continue reading Dragheda Mapping Party Review

Cycling: South London Critical Mass
Quick catchup post. On the First Friday of July 2008, the first South London Critical Mass was held. On the way I done some mapping for OSM, finding some unnamed roads. I find Critical Mass useful for learning your way around London (or wherever it is held), as through random route will take you to… Continue reading Cycling: South London Critical Mass
