Beefing up detail from NPE and local_knowledge

I've been taking advantage of some enforced 'chill time' to add some detail around the Lunesdale and 'Wenningdale' area. Mostly in the form of transferring streams from NPE, but also marking and naming some crags and woodland I know of, and also adding riverbanks to the more significant rivers in the area.
I really do wish we had some detailed imagery of this area, instead of just the smallest zoom yahoo stuff; it would be so nice to add some up to date accurate features, like other areas of woodland, water, etc.

A word of warning to anyone mapping out in the sticks; if adding detail from NPE, be very CAUTIOUS about the reliability of the rectification of the maps. There is lots of advice elsewhere about how varied rectification is, some talking of accuracy only being within 2-4km of a given point; around here I'm lucky if NPE data is rectified for 2-400 metres! Try to make use of GPS data as a calibration for NPE data. Using potlatch, pressing G will give you all GPS tracks in the area being mapped; that helps to average out positional errors from just your own GPX tracings too.

I'm also pretty convinced that some of the rectification issues aren't just from when the original NPE maps were copied. Some of the 'errors' look to have occurred when the data was originally being recorded by OS - I guess, as in all other things, there were good and bad surveyors!
