Three days in Suffolk (driving and walking) and one day cycling in the Fens.
Though many of the roads making up NCN 11 (Ely-King's Lynn) were already in OSM, the route wasn't tagged as such. So I've now done that - one more for the cycle map, and neatly dovetailing with David Earl's excellent work in Ely. Much of NCN 11 south of Ely appears to have been done already, subject to Sustrans not having finished it yet!
I did want to double back to March and get some more of NCN 1 done, but unfortunately the B&B lady's rather bizarre ideas on times of collecting keys meant I had to be back in Ely sooner rather than later, so I had to be content with continuing through King's Lynn for a short while. Another time, maybe.
As for Suffolk, though I suspect many of our travels were duplicating existing OSM work (well, it's hard to get away from the A12), there should be a good few more roads to add - plus the village of Blythburgh, where we were staying (tiny village, huge church). We kept seeing NCN 1 signs hither and thither (plus NCN 51 from time to time), but didn't systematically survey any of it. Sadly the one footpath I really wanted to survey wasn't particularly passable - something to do with high tide...
Incidentally, for any other OSMers with a fondness for the National Cycle Network, Sustrans' excellent Connect2 project has got through to the final round of the Living Landmarks competition for a £50m grant. The final decision will be made by TV phone vote - so tell your friends!
