I had two GPS devices .
One was a Iphone the other was Globalsat USB based GPS logger hence I took it with my netbook on a back pack .
Afternoons in India with sunny weather is almost impossible . By the time I got a bike and refuelled it . It was time for dinner. Then I moved on osm.org/browse/way/52010115 which was well lit in the residential area as i moved near the lake side it became damn dark and bumpy .. I couldn't see where the pot holes are . I also had to avoid the vehicles coming from front with a high beam (lights )
I was checking Iphone with xgps ( which is also recording tracks) to check the google map . Sometimes also checking out with openmap app to see if the road is mapped or not . After covering a secondary highway I went on a long road which connects the other roads .
with very less traffic and neat road the journey was pleasant . I just had to sit back and enjoy the cool breeze while the iphone and my netbook toiled hard to calculate the coordinates lol . Suddenly I saw all the street lights vanished . I wondered if it was just a patch of no houses . After some distance OMG the road became desolate . It was dark and foxes /dogs howling scared me off LOL
I entered a no_name village osm.org/browse/node/764883727 then moved on to see that there was no road only some gravel . Hell I went on till I could meet wyra road .
osm.org/browse/way/45033651
After that I went on a special journey beside a canal and was surprised to see people crossing the canal inside it ! Beelsebob at #osm suggested me to map it as weir osm.org/browse/node/764899987
After some apple juice I went on to do some internal roads till I got tired .
