I had a laugh when you were saying that you were trying to map something you physically couldn't be using only a GPS (and perhaps a camera).
I had fun trying to work out where I should put a fountain in the middle of a small lake. Ended up using GPS with some way-points to figure it out.
Where there's a will, there's a way. It became a challenge, of course, to nail down the route. But I shouldn't exaggerate the difficulty. There are quite a lot of crossings, and many parallel access and farm roads. Slotting the route in between them all and fixing the GPS points at crossings did the trick.
Now when it came to topographical detail, that's another story (which I have to admit I didn't solve myself; but it has a bearing on the great import discussion on the legal talk mailing list).

great text to read, I know that feeling, wanting to learn more about other mappers and I love reading personal stories.
Keep up the good work.
