Now with the weather cooling off in Lesotho, and armchair mapping becoming more of a necessity than a choice I am thinking of hitting the #MapLesotho mapping with a large number of edits. My node contribution is approaching 5 million and this weather will grant me an opportunity to increase the edits and reach my goal. It is true I map everyday but I haven’t had an intense mapping in a while and I intend to crack my record.

There is a big need of improved mapping in Lesotho in areas such as Leribe and Maseru and using the data we realised that this districts have pockets of unmapped places. I therefore plan to hit the grid and tackle those because the idea is to have the whole country completely and perfectly mapped. Thus making open-source data readily available for use by different offices or individuals.

I am not new to mapathons having sat up late into the night in Ireland as well as Lesotho and I plan to have the 24 hours one woman mapathon. To stay motivated I will need twitter breaks, and I need people to shout me @Tshedy4 on. I promise to update twitter every hour on the hour, and say how I am doing. But forget the likes and retweets, I want words of encouragement, so give me replies with your feedback and I want some of you to map with me.

So I will be mapping task 1937 and 1945 on Friday the 26th April 2019 from 10am Lesotho time till the next day 27th April 2019 at 9:59 am. I will appreciate all the support.
