  1. Well, mostly Brown Clee (and the North/East sides at that, so far) ..
    available as Garmin .img file, for public beta test. Oh the price is
    right too.

    The underlying OS sheets 129/130 are also digitized, but a bit too big
    to post on the website (even in pieces they're several MB each).

    Feedback welcome .. like whether contours are actually any use. I
    digitised quite a few, but personally I'm not convinced - they increase
    the map clutter, they're in feet, and probably not very accurate, and
    I'm not sure what they are good for - you can pretty much figure out
    where the high bits are from where the streams run.

    p.s. do not try =driving= with this map (it doesn't autoroute anyway) ..
    I have yet to put in the last 50 years worth of bypasses, from GPS
    tracklogs, and you really don't want to go where the roads went back in
    1947!

    They have not changed all that much... Well there is the Ludlow bypass
    - that was due to be built c. 1937 but was completed in 1979

    And the Bridgnorth bypass. And Telford, but I'm not going that far
    North. Yep, as far as stability goes this is one of the saner parts of
    the country, although the size increase in Ludow is scary (basically
    they filled in all the way to the bypass with new building).
