Edinburgh/MappingParty/2010-04
When and Where
This mapping party is planned for 10th April at 9am. We will be covering Penicuik.
We will meet at the Somerfield Supermarket Car Park, then meet up again 2 hours later and decide on a place to eat. Please bring Cell phones, GPS units, Safety gear if Cycling. We will decide how to section the areas when we meet in the car park and find out who has turned up. There will be basic printed maps available. You will recognize Central America because he will be wearing an Orange Openstreetmap Jacket.
