I spent most of April working on the general election campaign in Newcastle upon Tyne, which took me to many unmapped parts of the city, particularly in the Denton and Chapel House areas. As I had to walk down many of the streets it proved a good opportunity to do some mapping at the same time.
I have started to add the roads I covered to the map and am sorting through all the tracks I collected to make sense of the areas where there was a lot of footways off roads in to the area.
There are still plenty of gaps in the area as I tended to concentrate on the same streets repeatedly during the election but with trips to and from the area what was until recently a blank space is slowly being filled in.
