Nordic cross-country skiing tracks in Vestmarka

vibrog erabiltzaileak 4 Urtarrila 2009 datan argitaratua English hizkuntzan

For the last days I've been cross-country skiing in Vestmarka, enjoying outdoors and activity while collecting GPS data for OSM. Most ski pistes are in place, but need more snow in lower areas before visiting the remaining tracks. It can be seen on the Osmarender layer.

Rød ringløype in Fredrikstadmarka

Added a few minor trails in Fredrikstadmarka,
worked on getting the relation:route for "Rød ringløype" correct (thanks to user dagbj),
and added marked_trail:blue for the trail connection from Rekustad to Hatten.
Still lots of marked_trail:blue and route:ski tags there that needs review.

Trails in Torsnes, Fredrikstad: Heiefjella and Thorsø-tangene

vibrog erabiltzaileak 26 Abuztua 2008 datan argitaratua English hizkuntzan

I spent a week in Torsnes outside Fredrikstad this summer,
exploring the last bits of trails in Heiefjella and Thorsø-tangene.

I've traced footpaths based on over 30 tracklogs collected while mountain biking
there over the last three years.

The amazing aspect of user contributed maps is how accurate and
up-to-date we can make them. This spring they released a brand new map
of the area called "kulturhistorisk turkart" (historical hiking map).
The mapper obviously haven't revisited any of the trails recently (last 5-10 years),
as some tracks (what would have been tagged tracktype=grade4) are now
been overgrown by vegetation, and are hardly visible.

I also added woods for Torsnes, drawn after Landsat imagery and
corrected near GPS tracks of roads and trails, as well as from
memory of what the terrain looks like.
