Two major achievements today - adding the DECC's (source=DECC) entire list of UK oil wells (they confirmed it was public domain data yesterday morning), and mapping the park next to my house.

There are now 11,015 disused oil wells in the OSM database around the UK and a further 500 active ones. Unfortunately there is no official tag and they won't show up on the map, but the data is there (man_made=petroleum_well) for anybody interested. They have other data too, but it doesn't appear to be of much use for us.

I'd put off mapping the park by my house for so long because of its complicated pathways, and the sheer number of different tags it has (maze, bowling greens, play area, band stand, gardens, etc.) many of which were new to me. It's still not entirely correct, but good enough (the major pathways and features are all in, if not entirely accurate). Unfortunately the name of the park is rendered directly over the tiny bandstand in Mapnik. I have filed a bug report for this to be fixed, but I don't know how easy a fix it is.

A lesser achievement was taking my new bike out for a spin yesterday. It's a joy to ride, not terribly fast but nice low gears for getting up the Bradford hills. I'm hoping to have a chance for a decent length ride this weekend.
