Higgy's diary
Shrewsbury mappingI've recently got a got in Shrewsbury (web developer at Mutiny Desgin) and am going to be commuting by train from Birmingham. Obviously this gives me the opportunity to map various bits of the town after work.
I'm heading up tomorrow (Wed 27th Feb) to try out the journey, taking the bike in order to complete some of NCN 81. I'm happy to meet anyone that wants to come and do a bit, whether they've ever done any mapping before (but I don't have a GPS so you'll have to supply one), although I realise it very short notice and most people have work.
I'll be doing the trip out towards the Oxon Business Park, towards Bicton Heath, (since this is where I'll be working). While there I'll map the business park itself, then head back towards town joining the NCN 81 at the first available opportunity, getting off it by the train station. Then heading back the other way I'll finish off inside the loop of the river before rejoining NCN 81 and following it as far as I can (hopefully as far as Telford.
Is the plan. Weather permitting.

a) I mean I have a job in Shrewsbury
b) I mean I only have one GPS so you'll have to bring one if you want to do any mapping.
I'll be going to the Armoury (pub), on Victoria Avenue not far from Welsh Bridge, for lunch (if they do food, if not it'll be Subway and a park bench).
Plan may be subject to change, depending on whether anyone wants to meet up.
