[Bradford] Mapping Party

[David Carpenter]

Hi All

I'd be up for some of this - need to check my calendar for dates tho.
St. Ives is basically on my doorstep so that would be cool.

I'd also be interested in getting some more of Bradford's roads mapped,
particularly for cycling, and so that projects like
http://cyclestreets.net would have better local coverage. 

Cheers
David
