Working with the Youth Hostel Association we were asked to produce a large wall map that was to be used as part of a campaign to encourage people to explore the Dark and White Peaks.
The map would be simple and would need to depict 6 carefully selected walking, running and cycling routes and the terrain around them.

I went back and forth about whether these boys needed faces or not - maybe not. Still, I like the overall effect. I've never tried anything like this before.
Online guide to various Switzerland Maps www.mapsofworld.com/switzerland/
like location map, outline map, political & river map of Switzerland.
Spot some interesting things, including:
- Central Line in the west only as far as Greenford.
- Ditto in the east only as far as Woodford and Newbury Park - the rest of the old Great Eastern Railway branch lines were yet to be opened as part of the Underground.
- The Metropolitan and District Lines shown as one.
- The Met going beyond Amersham to Aylesbury.
- The District Line going to Hounslow West (actually it got there before the Piccadilly).
- The South Acton branch from Acton Town.
- The proposed Northern Line extensions that never got built.
- Walham Green on the District Line branch to Wimbledon - now Fulham Broadway.
- The 'Outer Circle' via Kensinton Olympia - ‘temporarily closed’ by the look of it. And still closed over 70 years later.
- And more...

The railway was an East West link of 183 miles and 20 chains between Yarmouth, Norwich and Peterborough with its works at the four way crossing at Melton Constable. 2 sections survive in use: the Cromer to Sheringham section of the national network and Sheringham to Holt (almost) as a preserved steam operated line.
NEWS FLASH:
Dogseat and Dogseats_Bike are officially endorsing Barack Obama for President.
Colbert and Halloween-Me endorsed him last week
Technical Background for Image:
The graphic was made with a GPS-enabled bike camera. Whilst in motion, it takes a photo every 60 seconds and uploads it to a flickr account. You can look at the map and see where the bike went.
We went geo-tagging for Obama, and thus geo-tagging for America, and probably thusly--geo-tagging for the World!
